Celebrity Designer/Stylist Kenny Kas released his highly anticipated Welcome Black Collection, alongside his groundbreaking W.E.T. (With Exceptional Taste) line, which boldly redefines genderless couture. Designed to celebrate culture, confidence, and unapologetic excellence, these collections mark his boldest statement yet.
The Welcome Black Collection is couture with teeth — rich fabrics, daring silhouettes, and a narrative rooted in strength and legacy. It’s a reminder that luxury isn’t about playing it safe. It’s about stepping into a room and owning it.
This season, he’s doubling down on that ethos. Alongside Welcome Black, Kas is spotlighting W.E.T. (With Exceptional Taste) — a line that challenges every outdated idea of who gets to wear what. “I wanted to disrupt the idea that fashion has to be gendered,” Kas says. “W.E.T. is about attitude, not anatomy. It’s a line that empowers anyone to feel bold, unapologetic, and exceptional — regardless of labels.”
Kas has always been a designer who creates clothes with presence. His pieces don’t whisper; they announce. Whether he’s dressing Rihanna, Snoop Dogg, Alicia Keys, Toni Braxton, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Sherri Shepherd, Nelly & Ashanti or Kobe Bryant, Kas delivers fashion that commands attention — on red carpets, in music videos, and on the global stage.
Kas’s journey to this moment is as legendary as his work. A protégé of Yves Saint Laurent, he studied under the master himself and went on to make history as the first African American male couture designer featured at Saks Fifth Avenue. His creations have appeared on magazine covers, blockbuster films, and television, earning him awards like the America’s Prince of Fashion Award, Career Achievement Award in Fashion, and a Proclamation from the State of Maryland honoring his contributions to the industry. He has shown at New York Fashion Week, been nominated for the CFDA Breakthrough Designer Award, and earned a reputation as a designer who moves culture forward.
