BLACK SMOKE RETURNS TO BARCELONA WITH “SHUKRANI” — A POWERFUL TRIBUTE TO LEGACY, STYLE, AND CULTURE
Barcelona, Spain — July 7–11, 2025 — Black Smoke is proud to announce its highly anticipated return to Barcelona with an immersive, multi-day experience blending fashion, education, and cultural connection at the beautiful Bau, Centre Universitari d’Arts i Disseny Pujades, 118 · 08005 Barcelona. Running from July 7–11, 2025, the week will spotlight the unveiling of Black Smoke’s latest capsule collection, “Shukrani".
Founded by Audrey Jackson, mother of the late Bashar “Pop Smoke” Jackson, Black Smoke is more than fashion—it is a movement. Built to honor Pop Smoke’s enduring legacy, the brand reflects his Brooklyn-born resilience, bold aesthetic, and global cultural impact. Since its inception, Black Smoke has empowered young creatives through fashion showcases, international collaborations, and educational initiatives.
“Shukrani,” the Swahili word for gratitude, represents a new evolution in the Black Smoke narrative. Under the direction of Creative Director Javier Valencia, this year’s capsule collection captures the duality of Pop Smoke’s presence: bright ambition by day, fearless innovation by night.
