'Canadians are speaking up like never before and most importantly owning up to the fact that systemic racism is here and deeply rooted,' he says.
His unyielding ingenuity is perhaps most obvious in House of Hayla’s offerings; he and Amini launched the brand after noticing the lack of monochromatic footwear options on the market and seizing the opportunity to create vegan material-fabricated pieces from pumps to sneakers in a variety of bold colours. They’re about to launch men’s styles as well as shoes for children, and Sully says they’ve also expanded to “queen sizing” for the drag community.
For all his accomplishments, though, Sully points out that he and fellow Black designers are largely underrepresented in the Canadian fashion industry and in media coverage. “How do I explain to my son [with] all these things that I’ve achieved—does he have to take my word for it because it’s not archived,” he asks.
Through creating the Black Designers of Canada Index, Sully is setting in motion a resource to ensure that moving forward, his peers will have the platform they deserve, and the ensuing recognition. He rightly notes that Black designers in Canada—despite receiving more attention in the past few weeks—are not, and should not, be treated as a novelty. As Sully puts it, “We’ve always been here.”
