Founded in 1992 by four neighborhood friends from Queens, New York trying to make quick cash by selling tie-top hats to their friends and family, FUBU, aka “For Us By Us,” quickly grew from a shoestring budget of $40 into a $6 billion fashion empire. BLM x FUBU incorporate both classic and fashion-forward styles all with the original BLM 3 stripe streak logos featuring the iconic Fubu font style and bright pop of color. The collaboration will incorporate a BLM x FUBU Hoodie priced at $60 and a BLM x FUBU T-shirts priced at $40.
During last weekend’s festivities BLM hosted a vibrant activation creating a socially conscious space within the ComplexCon universe, featuring a mock voting registration booth to encourage visitors to be civically engaged. During Cullors’s fireside chat, Storm Reid and FUBU founders shared their stance on key issues such as voting rights, racial injustice, gun laws and more that are shaping the upcoming election.

Also in attendance were Grammy winning artist Eve, hip hop legend LL Cool J, New York Times Bestselling author and journalist Elaine Welteroth, who stopped by to show love and support to the organization. The BLM X FUBU collaboration is one of many solidifying moments for the #WhatMatters2020 campaign and a continuation of BLM’s Arts+Culture platform dedicated to celebrating the impact of Black innovators in visual arts, literature, music and fashion. In its effort to celebrate leading representations of Black arts and culture, BLM has created unprecedented campaigns with pop art icon Hebru Brantley, former Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party, Emory Douglas, and CFDA winner Telfar at key pop culture events such as Complexcon, Art Basel, Frieze NY and more.
