Photo: Curt Saunders If you’re like us, you’ve probably wondered what famous people add to their carts. Not the JAR brooch and Louis XV chair, but the hairspray and the electric toothbrush. We asked Cynthia Gordy Giwa and Tayo Giwa — the creators of the digital publication Black-Owned Brooklyn, which spotlights Black-owned and -operated businesses in that borough — about the décor, body butter, and T-shirt they can’t live without.
From $17 at Ultraviolet Jewelry Buy Martine’s Dream Renee Jumpsuit $120 $120 In the summertime, I pretty much live in clothes from Martine’s Dream. The line, designed by Debbie Hardy, is full of flowy, fluid, easy-to-wear dresses, skirts, and jumpsuits in colorful fabrics from her world travels. Debbie calls them “sun clothes.” One of my favorite pieces is the Renee Jumpsuit, a denim, wide-leg, one-piece that is a complete look unto itself.
$65 at Cee Cee’s Closet NYC Buy Rayo and Honey It’s Good You Are Here Pennant $75 $75 Textile artist Rochelle Negron has a ton of pennants with affirmations. I chose this one to hang in our living room. I think it’s an affirming and welcoming message for our family to be surrounded by every day, especially now.
From $24 at Abu’s Bakery Buy Moshood White Face on Black T-Shirt $30 $30 Moshood is the name of the designer, but also the name of his store and streetwear brand. He’s a beloved, iconic figure in the community and ubiquitous through Black Brooklyn: You see the logo and you know that’s Moshood. He recently moved to a store in Bed-Stuy, but his original store in Fort Greene rose to prominence in the ’90s, when Fort Greene was a mecca for Black creatives.
