Considering the Splatoon 3 black squideye with wristband shirt and by the same token and success of Saturday’s event, the duo plan to continue their Family Portrait Series for the foreseeable future. “It’s amazing that we’re able to finally have our community be a part of our design process,” says Thompson. Gregory adds that the tees are not only for the Black community, either. “It’s a celebration of the Black family, but we’ve had all types of people send in.” Whoever the customer is, the pair agree that you’re getting more than a shirt at the end of the day. “You get to pass down these t-shirts,” says Gregory. “You get to carry that image with you: it doesn’t have to sit at your house or in your wallet.” Sherri McMullen’s eye for design is legendary. She started her career in fashion as a buyer for Neiman Marcus, before launching her eponymous boutique in Oakland in 2007. She stocks not only the classic fashion girl brands—Khaite, Proenza Schouler, and Jacquemus among them—but also smaller labels that prompt the question “where did you get that?” She’s also a champion of Black designers: she was the first retailer to buy Christopher John Rogers, who went on to win the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund in 2019 and now has a collaboration with Target. “His collection is colorful, happy and makes you want to get dressed,” she told Vogue. “His use of vibrant colors and his unexpected shapes are what sets him apart.” She also brought the Nigerian label Maki Oh to the West Coast, after some serious Insta-stalking. Ahead of Juneteenth, we asked her to name her favorite talents to support (or, depending on budget, admire from afar). Coincidentally, many of them are labels which she was the first to stock. Below are her picks.
