2. Telfar Clemens

The designer Telfar Clemens has made his first name a staple in fashion conversations with his popular luxury “shopper” bags. The boxy silhouette with a T-shaped emblem adorning its side has become a must-have item for every fashion enthusiast, including celebrities such as Oprah and Beyonce. The designer established his brand in 2005 but within the past few years, his artistic visions have become widely appreciated by the masses. His “shopper bags” are consistently sold out due to their immense popularity and he is continuing his work to further the reach of black queer fashion with the development of his brand.
