Hello Q2 

There is no denying that the world of Afrocentric fashion and independent designers is often overlooked and undervalued. Despite their innovative designs, creative flair, and unique perspective, they struggle to receive the recognition they deserve. That is why it is important to celebrate and highlight their work whenever possible. And that is exactly what we have been doing over the last few months - shining a spotlight on the incredible talent within the Africentric fashion world and supporting independent designers who are pushing boundaries and breaking new ground. 

What Next G99? 
As you may be aware (if not, please visit @grade99studios on Instagram), every week we celebrate a talented designer as our Look of the Week. Moving forward into the next quarter, we have an exciting plan to offer you an even deeper look into the creative processes and hard work of these individuals who are making a significant impact in the world through their talent and dedication. We are thrilled to take you on this journey and share with you the inspiring stories of these game-changing designers. And that is not all! Our website grade99studios.com is now officially up and running ready to provide you with all the fashion-related information you need. As a one-stop shop for everything Afrocentric fashion, you can browse through various categories and explore a wide range of designs by independent designers. Additionally, you can find more details about our upcoming events, including dates, and locations.  Furthermore, we recently introduced a new monthly game activity on Instagram to keep you entertained. The game involves choosing your favourite outfits, bags, and shoes from a selection of options we provide. It's a fun way to stay engaged with our brand and explore your fashion preferences.

Have You Heard?
The Toronto Fashion Experience (TFE) will be happening on the 1st of June 2024. This annual runway event is organized to raise funds to support local designers in the fashion industry. It promises to be an exhilarating experience, showcasing the latest trends and designs, while also offering an opportunity for attendees to network and connect with industry insiders. As we are located in Toronto, we might just make an appearance. Our utmost dedication lies in bridging the gap between Afrocentric fashion designers and the global community. We strive to create a platform that provides ample opportunities for these talented designers to showcase their unique creations to the world. We believe that every step of this journey is not only significant but also incredibly rewarding, and we sincerely hope that you are finding it as fulfilling as we are.
