Designer George Sully Launches A Platform To Celebrate Black Designers of via to the protests over racial injustice and police brutality in the United States, conversations surrounding race relations have not only been occurring in America but on a global scale with different international cities also marching in solidarity.
In Canada, one fashion designer is using the momentum to spotlight Black designers in his country that often don’t receive the praise they deserve.
George Sully has made a name for himself in the Canadian fashion world as a famous shoe designer and the co-founder of Sully Wong, House of Hayla, along with other trendy collaborations with various designers.
“I was doing rap and producing songs, then I got into a lot of house and started DJing,” Sully told Fashion Magazine.
According to Fashion Magazine, Sully was inspired to create the platform because “for far too long the Black community has been marginalized when it comes to fashion and our contribution to it.”
