Black Fashion Designer Making Fashion Inclusive

Our Mission

Lou Lapel is for strong warriors & tastemakers blazing their own unconventional paths, constantly.  LL, is a sustainable fashion brand with carefully curated designs serving those who desire to look different & standout amongst the crowd. Consumers can expect distinctive garments & suiting, unparalleled fits & sensible unisex sizing options on essential hand-picked attire.

Solving Inclusion & Sustainability in Fashion

Representation matters in fashion across all shapes, sizes and genders. The luxury fashion industry has representation issues with less than 4% of the industry being comprised of Black Designers, let alone Black Women in luxury RTW. We want to change that with our brand Lou Lapel by representing and changing the norms in fashion industry and making luxury accessible to all people.

The Opportunity is Massive

The market size is indefinite, and the opportunity is massive due to the need for inclusion and expansive sizing in clothes in the fashion industry and world.

How We Plan to Allocate Funding in the near term

Our hope is to gain awareness around our Black Owned Brand and raise capital to expand our business through technology, continued education and operating costs (materials, equipment, shipping costs, etc.) that will thrust us past bootstrap phase. We are currently scoping partnerships with virtual dressing room apps as well as interactive sizing to adjust to our new normal and make sure consumers feel comfortable with fit before purchase. Furthermore, continuing education is key in the fashion industry, we plan to use funds to expand our knowledge of new techniques, marketing trends and other critical areas to enhance the consumer experience.

Thank you again and I look forward to growing with the IFundWomen Community!
