In The World Of African American Fashion; Meet Designer B.Michael…

Meet Designer B. Michael

B.Michael

“I love to know that I design for women that have an agenda. [M]any of the women who wear my clothes are very powerful in terms of running their own businesses, or sitting on boards, or doing great philanthropic work.”

B. Michael’s inspiration came from his mother, her creativity and sense of style were passed on to him. While pursuing a career in fashion, he designed hats under Oscar de la Renta, Louis Feraud among others. His big break came when he was given the opportunity to do the millinery work for the 1980s hit television drama Dynasty. With his success on the show, he went on and launched his own millinery line in 1989.  Years later, B launched his first couture collection in 1999.

The designer describes his signature style as “A modern approach to glamour. It is also about achieving a very sophisticated, yet simplistic look. A woman who wears B. Michael knows how to wear a basic dress and make it look glamorous.”

His clothes have been worn by many A-list black celebrities such as Victoria Rowell, Cicely Tyson, Lena Horne, Lynn Whitfield, and Angela Bassett among others.

POV: I don’t need new shoes. I don’t need new shoes. I don’t…
 …but can we really have too many pairs of shoes? Asking for me 😭 These fur-trim slingbacks at H&M have me questioning everything I said.

What’s the verdict…cute or naw?

Same pants, different top. Different vibe. 🤎 Left or right — which one’s yours? 👇

I’ve walked past these lace-trim pants so many times thinking, “They’re cute, but they’re just not my style.”

Then one day I decided to play dress-up. I tried them with a poncho and added a belt to cinch my waist—and suddenly, the whole look clicked. I took a piece I wouldn’t normally wear and made it feel like me.

Proof that sometimes you really do have to play dress up.

Me the second I have plans: “Oh, I already know what I’m wearing.” That outfit with the tags still on has been waiting for its debut.

My coworker made me try these pants on, and now I can’t stop thinking about them.  They’re so good, but let’s be real: I’m petite, and without heels, these are sweeping the floor.

Fashion besties, are we keeping them and getting them hemmed, or putting them back?

Calling all fashion besties: This is not a drill! Fall has officially arrived. Let the layering, styling and shopping commence. What’s the first fall piece you’re shopping or shopped for? #fashionstyledetroit

Have you started fall shopping yet?
