Born and raised in Harlem. Deeply rooted in the culture. And intentional about every single thing in her closet. 🖤
@cheesmalls is a Senior Director of Product Development at Coach, a fashion storyteller, and someone who has always put her money where her heart is, behind Black designers.
In this Closet Challenge feature, Chee takes us through the pieces and designers that mean the most to her: her ride-or-die @brandonblackwoodnyc bag that goes with her on every trip, the @fenoel robes she dreamed of owning when she first started making money, the @christopherjohnrogers pieces that make color, structure, and silhouette feel effortless, and @12pmstudios sunglasses by @jeneenaylor that can transform even the simplest look.
Her words say it best: “Black designers lead with creativity, resilience, culture, inclusivity, empathy, and for me, it’s important that I support that.”
That’s exactly what The Closet Challenge is about. Commit just 10% of your closet to Black designers. Small shift. Big impact. Chee is showing you how.
Comment CLOSET below and we’ll send you the link to take the challenge and shop her full guide. Then tag 3 people to put them on 👀🖤
Me and @mynuface are stepping into our Nu Eras… and honestly, it looks good on us. ✨

Same dress. Two ways to wear it. Zero compromise on the designers. 🖤
@cheesmalls is giving us the fit check we didn’t know we needed, and every single thing she’s wearing is intentional.
The dress? The Sanai Knit Dress by @muehlederlabel ,styled two ways because a great piece never has just one life. The bag? @brandonblackwoodnyc , her ride-or-die for every occasion. The sunnies? @12pmstudios in the London Green Lens, because the right accessory changes everything.
This is what an intentional closet looks like. And this is exactly what The Closet Challenge is about. Commit just 10% of your closet to Black designers and watch how your whole wardrobe, and your impact, shifts.
Comment CLOSET below and we’ll send you the direct link to shop Chee’s full look and take the challenge.

The more I explore beauty, the more I realize,
it always comes back to CONFIDENCE.
Not perfection. Not trends.
Just how certain you are in yourself.
Beauty Is… confidence. No hesitation.
This is just the beginning.
