As February nears its end, so does Black History Month. Throughout this month, we have recognized and honored the generations of African Americans who have battled — and continue to battle — discrimination, racism and fight for equal rights for all.
In honor of Black History Month, activewear and lifestyle brand Fabletics has pledged to donate a total of $50,000 to Community Spring and Imagine Black Futures. These grass-root organizations were selected by Black artists Rob Lewis and Melissa Koby, who have joined forces with the fashion brand to design four limited-edition, custom-made "BHM Tees".
Thought-provoking artist Rob Lewis explained how his creative designs of the Festac '77 and Africobra tees were influenced by Black Power movements throughout America.
“Learning about the legendary World Black & African Festival of Arts and Culture, more commonly referred to as FESTAC, has given me the space to dream and permission to celebrate the power of gathering for the sole purpose of deepening connection to ourselves and each other,” said the talented designer.
Inspiring illustrator Melissa Koby took the route of creating more colorful and lighter-styled designs. The Florida-based artist explained how her goal was for the Kindred and Harmony tees to represent strong and powerful women throughout her community, all while emphasizing current issues of social injustice and equality.
“My hope is that women everywhere will see a reflection of themselves in my designs,” said the inspiring female designer.
