In this episode of Pause for a Moment, we ask a simple question with a complicated answer: Why are Black designers still underrepresented in luxury fashion? From Virgil Abloh’s historic run at Louis Vuitton to the cultural force of brands like Telfar and Pyer Moss, Black creatives continue to shape the look and language of modern style.

But when it comes to leadership in legacy houses, the door remains mostly closed. We’ll explore the barriers, the breakthroughs, and what real inclusion could look like in an industry that thrives on Black culture but rarely centers Black designers.
