Las Vegas, Nevada May 19, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - After years of designing for fast rising brands actress, instrumentalist & fashion designer Aferenni Richardson is stepping forward with a bold message: originality deserves recognition. Known in industry circles for her visionary high end street wear, and textile work, this emerging designer is now calling attention to a growing pattern--her work is being imitated without credit.
Before helping her daughter design & launch her own label Angel Nursery Aferenni Richardson was the creative hand behind signature pieces for several new-generation fashion brands such as Bronze & Bone, FK Valentine's Day, & Alien Chic. Her designs for some of those brands can be seen at the art gallery The Uniq Art Collective. Her designs have also been seen on celebrities, runways, and digital campaigns. Though her name was always omitted, her signature style an intentional blend of experimental form and cultural narrative quickly caught the eye of stylists and editors in the know.
Now, as strikingly similar designs have begun to circulate from other creators and retailers, Aferenni Richardson is breaking her silence.
Ive stayed behind the scene, focused on the craft. But seeing my designs reproduced without permission or acknowledgment has pushed me to speak up, she says. Real creativity deserves protection. Its time people know where these ideas come from.
Having earned quiet praise from emerging fashion houses, and independent design platforms, Aferenni Richardson is preparing to help her daughter launch her solo collection for Angel Nursery + in Spring 2026. The upcoming line promises to be a masterclass in innovation, blending storytelling & art with reflection of the designers personal approach including the use of pastels as that is her daughters signature use in this line.
