We appreciate The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute and Vogue Magazine, for recognizing the monumental impact Black people have on the art of dressing…expression.
With all that is actively taking place to erase Black culture and contributions, this year’s Met Gala theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” is both right on time, yet long overdue.
Monica Miller’s book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity, shepherded the show.
I scorched the earth with my talent and I let my light shine.
