Before Beyoncé was the superstar we all know and love today, she was just a member of the girl group Destiny’s Child. In the early 2000s, fashion politics had some definite racist and classist tendencies. In 2016, Beyoncé received the CFDA Fashion Icon award and in her speech, she acknowledged the difficulty in getting dressed in her early career saying.

“When we were starting out in Destiny’s Child, high-end labels, they didn’t want to dress black, country, curvy girls. And we couldn’t afford designer dresses and couture. My mother was rejected from every showroom in New York. But like my grandmother, she used her talent and her creativity to give her children their dreams.” Beyoncé’s mom started “House of Dereon” and nearly all of the early outfits worn by Destiny’s Child were designed by her.
