A prom dress adorned with the faces of 15 Black lives lost has gone
viral — taking the concept of a statement piece to another level.
In an effort to make sure that Sandra Bland,
Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin and others who lost their lives after
officer involved incidents aren't just faded headlines, designer
Terrance Torrence created a gown with these faces emblazoned upon the
skirt.
"Let's just never forget the stories," insists Torrence. "What's done is done but let's not forget."
Torrence, a young Black designer from the West
Palm Beach area grew up a little over an hour north of Trayvon Martin's
hometown of Miami Gardens, Florida. "Trayvon was the leader of that
movement. I feel that he kinda sparked the Black Lives Matter movement,"
Torrence told NBCBLK. "It was Trayvon's story that made me want to do
this dress."
