African American Studies African Americans Art Criticism Fine Arts Fashion black fashion luxury fashion African American women The Curated Estate The luxury fashion industry has had an extensively long history of racism againstAfrican Americans. Because luxury fashion has issues of racial discrimination while shopping and has used racially charged designs/ visual displays African Americans have not felt comfortable shopping luxury retail. The purpose of this study was to explore how black-owned businesses can change the narrative in luxury fashion. Within the study, the following question was explored: How can a luxury resale pop-up shop catered toward African American female shoppers address the racial discrimination issues in the luxury fashion industry? The researcher implemented a practice-based solution – through The Curated Estate pop-up shop. This study created a three-day live shopping experience curated and catered toward African American women which measured the success of the pop-up shop event through sales, consumer experience and social media interaction. This study found that black-owned businesses can serve as the connector between luxury fashion and African American women by amplifying their experiences by showcasing their value through visual inclusivity and interpersonal connectivity. This project created a scholarship to support Black students studying fashion at HBCUs. The Curated Estate serves as a catalyst for black-owned businesses looking to tackle racial issues and advocate for necessary change in the fashion industry. 2021-06-17 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1620816314892002 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1620816314892002 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
