June 30, 2020 No Comments

Calling all my fellow shopaholics! I recently shared 51 of my most-played songs by Black artists. Now, I’m happy to share my favourite Black-owned fashion brands stocked with new, eye-catching pieces. Get your credit card ready!

Atelier New Regime

Let’s kick off this listing with a Canadian company! Created and headquartered in Montreal, Atelier New Regime focuses on contemporary fashion and streetwear, mixing luxe fabrics with cool cuts and prints. The best part: All proceeds from their new Can’t Stop Won’t Stop tee ($65) will be donated to a local foundation supporting youth mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. Who says you can’t look good while doing good?!

Chen Burkett New York

“To travel is to live,” says New York-based brand Chen Burkett (and I’d have to agree). Although travelling may be out of the picture for the next few months, you can start adding new “destination-inspired” pieces to your wardrobe. You’re guaranteed to find dresses, skirts and trousers that could go from the boardroom to boardwalk in the same day.

Hanifa

Say hello to Hanifa, your new one-stop shop for bold and sophisticated designs. Don’t just take my word for it: You may recognize their orange Miya Knit Cardigan Dress from LadyGang podcaster Jac Vanek’s Instagram feed. What I love most about Hanifa is that they are all about the “woman without limits.” Their latest Pink Label Congo line, filled with stunning earth-inspired dresses, sweaters and skirts, is the perfect embodiment of this.

TIER NYC

If you’re in the market for a new sweatsuit as you continue to work from home, take a page from model Winnie Harlow’s book and check out TIER‘s cozy french terry cotton sets.

Have you ever listened to a song’s remix and said to yourself, oh snap, this might be even better than the original?

Since many remixes feature groovy new electronic beats, added star power and dozens more unique touches, it’s easy to feel like you’re listening to a totally new song. For this month’s playlist, I wanted to spotlight a few remixes that have soared up my on-repeat list. Keep scrolling for the full 25-track playlist plus five standout songs!

“Good as Hell” (Remix) – Lizzo feat. Ariana Grande

I’d be missing an obvious golden opportunity if I didn’t say that this remix is good as hell! With two of the year’s biggest artists — Lizzo and Ariana Grande — joining forces, it was a given that this collab would be magic to our ears. Lizzo and Ari delivered it all and then some. Whether it’s the original or the remix, this iconic song will definitely be on everyone’s year-end playlists.
