Venaisa Beckford
The Matrimony is about blending two worlds—
streetwear and high fashion—to challenge how
society links style to social class. This collection
merges silhouettes and fabrics often labeled as “low-
class” with those considered elite, using fashion to
explore race, wealth, and identity.
​
Inspired by designers like Virgil Abloh and Dapper
Dan, I wanted to reflect how communities of color
have long redefined luxury through creativity and
resourcefulness. My pieces mix structured leather,
woven textures, and tailored cuts—clothing that
could belong in both a Supreme drop and a Chanel
showroom.
​
This collection is personal. It’s shaped by how I grew
up, what my family wore, and how we’ve navigated
class over time. Every garment tells a story, and every
look is designed to be remembered.
Most of all, The Matrimony is a tribute to my mom, a
single mother who showed me the power of strength,
style, and vision.
