This episode is a tribute to Jay Jaxon, the chameleon of a designer. He worked for esteemed Paris fashion houses, such as Yves Saint Laurent, Jean Louis Scherrer, and Christian Dior. From NY to Paris to LA, Jaxon had 40 years of design brilliance. I hope we can continue to remember his name and celebrate his lifetime full of excellence. Beyond Jaxon, I hope we can acknowledge the impact Black artists have had on American culture.
