First MET Monday in May...

Runway to Red Carpet - Superfine tailoring Black Style

Superfine - tailoring Black Style is the theme of this year’s MET. I’m dying to visit.

The exhibition is “a cultural and historical examination of the Black Dandy, from the figure’s emergence in Enlightenment Europe during the 18th century to today’s incarnations in cities around the world.”

The exhibition runs May 10–October 26, 2025 in New York City.

It makes me think of a very inspiring Fashion Dandy - Andre Leon Talley

Here we are at NYFW in 2007. Andre’s a True Fashion Icon and Dandy

Here I am at the MET Gala in Versace latex, 1994. Thanks for the memory @Nineties Anxiety :

Who are you looking forward to see on the red carpet? And who can forget Zendaya owning it last year in that Givenchy?!

Check out these books to get inspired:

Gentlemen of Bacongo by Daniele Tamagni

Dandy Lion - Black Dandy and Street Style by Shantrelle P. Lewis

Who are your Dandy Style Icons? Will you be heading to see the exhibition?

Let me know!

I’ll be in touch.
