It’s hard to believe that Beyoncé is a only a year away from 40 today. Over the course of more than 20 years, the Houston-bred superstar’s talented has transcended time, and she has only leveled up in terms of audio and visual performances. As she says in the remix of her 2013 track “Flawless,” Beyoncé will rep “Texas forever, like Bun B,” and she is always known for elevating small brands.

After Beyoncé premieres a project, designers often reveal how they contributed to it. Oftentimes, the secret of their contributions is guarded with a strict non-disclosure agreement until the premiere of the project. Other times, they themselves are unaware of how their design will be used until the project’s premiere. Still, many creatives, including some in Dallas, are always impressed with the results.

East Dallas resident Sai Sankoh launched her eponymous fashion line in late 2018. Within less than a year, her designs were being worn by the Queen Bey herself. Last year, Beyoncé was spotted in The Hampton’s wearing Sankoh’s Algeria shirt dress from her 2019 Resort collection.
