PEOPLE IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY LOOK FORWARD TO A WHOLE LOT IN 2021

As 2020 closes, we are all looking forward to a better 2021 — from brand founders, to editors, to models.

We are going to share what some people in the fashion industry are expecting in the coming year.

 

Read them below:

1. AURORA JAMES, FOUNDER OF BROTHER VELLIES AND THE 15 PERCENT PLEDGE

 

“I’m hoping in 2021 that we’re all going to continue consciously shopping. This is a huge opportunity for consumers to continue voting with their dollars to support small and Black-owned businesses. I’m hoping this is finally the time when we take big steps towards making this world a better place. We need to think about how we treat the people we work with, starting with our supply chain. We need to inspire one another to do better.”

 

2. VICTOR GLEMAUD, DESIGNER AND FOUNDER OF IN THE BLK

 

“The possibility of hope and a return to optimism are what I’m looking forward to in 2021 and beyond. I’m exhausted and feel like I’m running on fumes right now. However, our collective resilience as New Yorkers keeps me stimulated to design and push my creativity forward. Keep your head up!”

 

3. BRANDON MAXWELL, DESIGNER

 

“In 2021, I’m looking forward to so many things! First and most important is the ability to see all my family in Texas. My sister is having her first baby and I want to be there for her. I think the industry has done a lot of soul searching this year and 2021 will see us taking stock of the past and really making an effort to evolve for the better of the consumers and the teams behind the brands.”

 

4. MICHELLE LEE, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF ALLURE

 

“Well, after this absolute dumpster fire of a year, I’m feeling — thankfully — pretty hopeful about 2021. I’m very excited that Allure is celebrating some major milestones in 2021: our 30th anniversary and the 25th anniversary of our Best of Beauty Awards. It’s been fun to look back over the past three decades to see how much beauty has become intertwined with culture, so we’ll be diving into that in a major way all year. We’re focused on expanding Allure as a brand in some exciting new ways — a few that I can’t talk about yet! Audio was very fun for us this year with the launch of our podcast ‘The Science of Beauty,’ so we’re looking forward to launching some other podcasts next year. It’ll be interesting to see how the world changes after the Presidential inauguration and after the COVID vaccines. I’m looking forward to seeing people in person again one day.”
