Historically, Afrocentric hair has been on trend in the Beauty and the fashion industry however African-Americans have been ridiculed or persecuted for wearing their natural hair in daily life and work. This goes as far as passing a law that bans discrimination against these practices known as “The Crown Act”.

I was inspired to make a collection concentrated on the various hairstyles and hair textures worn by African-Americans and African Tribes where the styles originated from. I am using silhouettes and mimicking the texture of hair and also using news and laws that have centered around hair texture.
