About Us
No Punching Bag Fashion, LLC. are fashion designers for social change. We design to inspire people to improve their lives and the lives of others through fashion runway storytelling. We call our work "Fashion for Social Change."
We have designed and created collections to draw attention to women's rights, mental health awareness, beauty stereotypes, voter suppression, kidney disease, climate control, racism, domestic violence, gun violence, and more.
No Punching Bag was found in 2015 by three women of color. Angel, Danielle, and Tenijah Renee are the fashion designers and founders of No Punching Bag. No Punching Bag fashion design team are the first fashion designers from Winston-Salem, North Carolina to be featured in Paris Fashion Week. Also, NPB was showcased in NYFW four times.
