COLLABORATIONS BLACK SMOKE
Javier Valencia is currently the Creative Director of Black Smoke. Valencia believes collaborations are when energies of different modalities unite to elevate each other. When Valencia collaborates with an artist, he acknowledges their unique talents or vantage point and merges them with his own experience as a couturier to create an exclusive perspective.
Black Smoke was born from the vision of Audrey “Mah Smoke” Jackson, mother of Bashar “Pop Smoke” Jackson; the Black Smoke brand is a tribute to her son’s undeniable influence, signature style, and Brooklyn roots. From global runways in Spain and Portugal to stages that uplift emerging designers, Black Smoke is where purpose meets power to celebrate the life, music, and unstoppable spirit of her son, Pop Smoke.
