Emerge in Color was conceived by Taubman vice president of specialty leasing Lori McGhee-Curtis to expand retail opportunities for Black businesses.
More than 50 brands will be sold in the store, including the Kevan Hall, In Earnest by Byron Lars and S. McGee apparel collections, Salone Monet footwear, Tribal Eyes eyewear and Jam & Rico jewelry. There also will be a number of events surrounding the five week pop-up, such as a June 19 panel discussion about Black spending power, a July 3 Crown Act Day beauty panel, and a shopping event with L.A. designer Hall, a founder of The Black Design Collective.
“It’s going to be a place for discovery. Shoppers are going to be starstruck by a beautiful caftan by Kevan Hall, and meander through to see a coffee-table book by Marcellas Reynolds, and may actually meet him at an event. They will see some wonderful pieces from Undra Celeste New York’s capsule and if they are looking for a great pump that matches their beautiful melanin skin tone, they will be able to buy Salone Monet.…And then they might see a plant they like and wonder if they can buy it.
“It’s important to support these brands for their survival and their survival means that money trickles into our community and our community can start to look different,” said Harris. “For so long as designers, we’ve been the only one in the studio. To see each other is so magical…you just no longer feel alone,” Nichel added. “It’s customer facing, plus the Black designer community getting to know one another.”
