For the month of March aka Women’s History Month, Fashion Nova has teamed up with rapper and Fashion Nova ambassador Megan Thee Stallion for a program called “Women On Top”. Backed by a belief in the power of women, the program is dedicated to donating $1 million in donations, grants and scholarships to women business owners, students and other inspiring female figures.
Megan Thee Stallion and Fashion Nova’s Women On Top initiative has already donated to organizations such as Bread of Life Inc., the Breonna Taylor Foundation, Greater Los Angeles Girl Scouts, and NACC Disaster Services to name a few.
Aside from donations, Fashion Nova is also taking this time to highlight emerging women designers including Maxie J, Alani Taylor, Tizita Balemlay and Tia Adeola. Let’s learn a little about each designer:
