Over the past week, many clothing brands and designers have expressed their support for the Black Lives Matter movement and causes in support of police reform and the fight against racism. Streetwear, in particular, is a vein of fashion that has profited and built upon black culture and creativity for decades. Fear of God's Gianna Floyd initiative in collaboration with a number of other independent designers and Braindead's continued donation campaign have both been leading examples of the power within the clothing community to raise awareness and funds for important causes on the front line of this movement.
