In the HBO comedy Insecure, Golden Globe nominee Issa Rae plays 'Issa Dee', a modern day African-American woman struggling to navigate professional and personal life in Los Angeles with her best friend 'Molly' (Yvonne Orji).

Ayanna James was Costume Designer on the sophomore season of Insecure with help from Assistant Costume Designer Derica Cole Washington and Costume Supervisor Devon Patterson.

I believe these costumes were from the second season episode 'Hella Questions' when Issa attends the African American exhibit at CAAM (California African American Museum) wearing 'The Last Poets' t-shirt, who were a spoken word jazz group.

These season two costumes, featuring outfits worn by Issa Rae, Natasha Rothwell, Yvonne Orji and Jay Ellis, were photographed on display at the FIDM Museum in Downtown L.A. on August 23, 2017.
