Why Are Most Designers Asian or White

Image via Wikipedia

Are most mainstream popular fashion designers Asian and White? I have not noticed any top fashion designers in the fashion industry to be African American. Most of your favorite designer clothes are by white Caucasian males,females, or Asian Designers. Ralph Lauren, Anna Sui, Tommy Hilfiger, Polo, and many others dominate the world of fashion without question. Are there any black top notch main stream fashion designers who are not in the hip hop culture that is glorified among his or her white or Caucasian counter parts?

Macy's is a place that houses most of the mainstream clothes you see on radio and TV. I have never seen any black fashion designers that were the prefered choice when it came to clothes, purses, or perfume.

Russel Simmons from Phat Farm to Argyle

Image by Getty Images via @daylife As most of you know Russell Simmons released his latest fashion called the Argyle Culture. Russell started with Phat Farm now he has moved on to his newest venture called the Argyle Culture. I wrote a blog about hip hop fashion designers and are they respected in the world of fashion. I would have to say that Russell Simmons is probably the only guy whose fashion line is respected in the white world of fashion designers like Ralph Lauren, Polo, and Tommy Hilfiger. Argyle is for the casual man who wants to still be apart of the hip hop culture, but yet still look classy with button down shirts and blazers etc.
