OverviewReparations: Style + Soul is Black Fashion's Big Payback. It's a unique coffee table book because it uses fashion to tell stories about culture, race, relationships, spirituality, and the history of us-all unapologetically. Written by Fashion Activist James R. Sanders, the project features over 90 stunning high fashion images all shot by Black photographers with Black models styled by a team of Black hair and makeup artists. Through personal essays, the author writes about Black history, finance, discrimination, health, friendships, and romance as if no one is in the room.
