#WakandaForever!! So excited to utilize our #BlackPantherNYFW collaboration to highlight one of our upcoming designers, @_skiptomylu, whose designs draw from her Nigerian heritage.
We are deeply committed to empowering #ChromatBABES of all shapes, races, ethnicities, ages, abilities and places on the gender spectrum through our work- both on the runway and within our design studio.
Read on for the inspo behind @_skiptomylu’s design: "When creating this #BlackPanther -inspired #Chromat look, the first thing that popped into my head was my muse: my Mom. At Chromat, we design for strong, powerful, unapologetic women and empower women of all shapes, sizes, and colors. The Black Panther film introduces strong black superheros and cultural diversity with Africa as it’s backdrop. In my eyes, my Mother is the most powerful, self-less, unapologetically strong Nigerian #ChromatBABE I’ve ever known. From the colorful gele to the bold patterned Ankara, and down to the Chromat cage and silhouette, I wanted this look to embody her colorful and bold spirit.” ✨✨✨
