This year’s theme, ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’, draws from Monica L. Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. The exhibition will highlight garments, paintings, photographs, and other media showcasing the evolution and elegance of Black men’s dandyism.
