Highsnobiety’s Honors Week is a celebration of the women particularly the trans and BIPOC women who have pushed our culture forward. This Women’s History Month, we’ve tapped six guest curators to go deep on the issues they care about and to spotlight their favorite women and nonbinary creators. In this story, Highsnobiety s own Lucy Thorpe speaks to sneaker industry maverick Melody Ehsani.
When Melody Ehsani founded ME in 2008, few women were visible in streetwear, with only a handful heading up brands. Chitose Abe was running Sacai, April Walker had founded Walker Wear, Erin Magee had launched MadeMe the year before, and Yoon Ahn was just co-founding Ambush. Overall, streetwear was overwhelmingly a boys’ club. ....

It is difficult to avoid the proliferation of TV commercials that feature white men at the head of Black families. The commercials, of course, are intended to sell products that range from cars to insurance to snack foods. Still, the depiction of scenes of intimacy that center white men in Black life can trigger painful memories of historical experience.
Such commercials can become instruments for destructive role modeling in the Black mind. They can codify a new symbol of white male dominance under the pretense of diversity especially when the reality of interracial marriage is that Black men and white women far outnumber the scenes promoted in the commercials. ....

Black History Month, in the words of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, is a powerful symbolic celebration of the important role of Black History in pursuit of racial justice and equality, and it has been treated as such ever since its inception. However, 2021 brings something different to this annual event. After a year of vitriolic racial animus, the color line that W.E.B. Du Bois predicted would be the most salient problem of the 20th century has developed a new strain in the 21st century. Where Du Bois line marked the divide between Black and white, this new line seems to be separating Black people from one another. ....

'You Are the Foundation Upon Which I Stand': 30 Black Women on Their Role Models


Sisters, where there is cold silence
no hallelujahs, no hurrahs at all, no handshakes,
no neon red or blue, no smiling faces
prevail.
The poem is a call to persevere—even in the face of hardship and discrimination. But it is also a celebration. “You create and train your flowers still,” Brooks wrote. The world can be cruel, but still, we rise.
And so while women have been raised to be competitive with one another—rooted in the lie that there isn’t room for all of us to succeed—Black women understand the power of collaboration, motivation, and support. You ever noticed the pure excitement of a Black woman when one of her sisters succeeds? There is something so empowering about hearing a compliment from another Black woman. It’s the hype track to unlocking our power—a sisterhood in action. ....
