We make garments made for ease. A new kind of uniform that expresses our highest self, while creating a sustainable system of style. With intention and innovation as its core, Detroit is the New Black looks to the future with optimism while building on the legacy of an iconic city. 

 

Launched in 2014 by Roslyn Karamoko as an  incubator for underrepresented creators, the label has grown into a consultancy for innovative retail concepts and a test platform for future manufacturing solutions. The brand is currently working to release a 3D knitwear apparel line using sustainably harvested fibers.
