As I was doing research for Black History month I came across L’Tanya Griffin, an African American fashion designer and Stylist. Unable to find a sufficient amount of information on Griffin, I decided to share the little info I was able to find.
In 1954, Griffin signed a multi-year contract with Edward D. Wood Production company to create gowns for 20 of its films, causing her to become the first African American designer to have a contract with a Hollywood film studio.
