Last Saturday, Briana Shanee blessed Atlanta with her first Matte Brand pop up shop. Walking into the shop, you instantly caught magical vibes as you looked around at all the different matte baes, mingling and shopping around. Everything just came so easy; conversations flowed, the vibes weren't forced, and the style of the shop itself was super edgy yet calm. New York based photographer, Patrick Neree captured all the right moments that day. From the laughs and smiles, to cute melanin girls browsing the racks, or Briana assisting some girls including myself, he caught it all. The quick success of this black-owned business by a young black woman, is something you can only be proud of. It was easy to tell Briana remained genuine and humble with the come up of her brand just by the way she thanked and tightly hugged people for coming out. Great experience to be a part of. |
