KIMBERLY GOLDSON F/W 2020 #NYFW

In a convergence of textiles, bold colors, and Kimberly Goldson’s signature prints, Hairitage is a celebration of Black women’s hair in all of its multi-textured glory. Featured this season are four captivating art pieces by emerging designer and illustrator, Taylor Ramsie. These pieces are seamlessly integrated into the collection alongside Kimberly Goldson’s staple of distinctive suiting and separates.

The brand has never been afraid to play with patterns and textures — and this collection is no exception. A mix of striped florals, plaids, and sequins served as the backdrop for their signature flowing pantsuits (including one with tassels), body-hugging sheaths, and shimmering separates.

However, the main attraction was a quartet of 3D tees and sweatshirts adorned with a blonde afro, burgundy blunt-cut bob, down-to-there cornrows, and copper curls.

The duo collaborated with fashion designer and illustrator Taylor Ramsie to create the limited-edition tees “highlighting and revering every curl, kink, and coil.”

“This collection is one of my proudest moments,” said Kimberly during the virtual presentation. She said the move to celebrate the beauty of hair came from a dream her sister Shelly had earlier this year about Black women’s hair and texture. “She just saw the hair.” A few months later, she went back to her sister and said, “That’s the inspo for Fall 2020!”

We interweave gold into all of our collections, not just because it’s part of the brand’s name, but because we truly believe It’s never too early to sparkle and shine. Each and every day we should wake up, take in the light, and show the world the very best version of ourselves. Our brand is dedicated to that empowering mission – changing the way women view themselves and changing the way the world views women.

Our hair is our crown: a source of strength and a symbol of creativity that we show to the world. For many years, braids, twists, locks, afros, and other hairstyles were deemed unacceptable, unprofessional. For Black women, it has been a journey to reach a celebration of self. Featuring art by fashion illustrator Taylor Ramsie, this collection joins in that jubilation, highlighting and revering every curl, kink, and coil.
