The NY-based streetwear label creates clothes with purpose. By incorporating untold Black histories into the design, Barriers designer Steven Barter wants to make Black history more accessible to young people. He takes specific moments in history or less well known figures, and amplifies them via bold collages and portraits seen on the clothing. The collection comprises of 61 one-of-a-kind pieces, created from reworked vintage items that are sourced from black-owned archives.
