This year's theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," delves into the evolution of Black fashion and its cultural impact, spanning from the 18th century to modern-day expressions.
The concept takes inspiration from the influential 2009 book Slaves to Fashion by Monica L. Miller, exploring the notion of the Black dandy as a statement of style and identity.
Curated by Andrew Bolton, the exhibit spotlights the fusion of fashion with historical and cultural narratives.
This edition of the gala, held as always at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, featured a power-packed list of co-chairs, including Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo, A$AP Rocky, and Lewis Hamilton.
