STAY ME7O

Derived from Carmelo Anthony’s passion for sartorial creativity and his desire to honor the Black creative community, STAY ME7O presents the PROPEL Program.
The STAY ME7O PROPEL Program reimagines the cultural landscape and creative spaces where diversity has been underserved, starting within the fashion industry.
This unique platform will focus on the movement for Black independence, freedom of expression and how Black creativity always has, and continues to move and change the world around us.
Seven emerging and established Black design groups collaborated with Carmelo Anthony to create a piece of clothing that honors their shared vision of the Black movement.
This initiative champions not just emerging and established fashion talent 
but honors a vision of Black excellence that inspires a culture to create and move further, together.

" A BLACK FUTURE "

PROPEL SS21’s theme asks each Designer: What is your vision of a “A Black Future”. Throughout history, Black communities have suffered from discrimination and systemic oppression. And even when examining the design and fashion landscape today, the disparity in equal opportunities and representation reveals that progress has not moved quick enough to find level ground. At a time of unquestionable change, the Black community must reflect and use their voices and creativity to amplify the change within the industry that’s so necessary. In this moment, Carmelo Anthony brings together a collective of underrepresented and uniquely diverse voices to shape a vision of ‘A Black Future’. With the world’s attention, these seven Designers share an unwavering commitment and passion for a brighter future so richly deserved.
