Randy Wilson and DAAP Library Staff partnered to create “Black By Design,” a display that showcases pioneers and youngbloods in black fashion. Many of the images in the display are from the Vogue Archive, a database of every Vogue magazine ever published. The drawings were custom created by Professor Wilson himself.
