When the @metcostumeinstitute announced recently that its Spring 2025 exhibition will be "...a cultural and historical examination of the Black dandy," I immediately thought that fashion icon André Leon Talley's trailblazing work should be centered and the annual benefit could be held to honor his legacy. You know, like they did for that racist, sexist Karl Lagerfeld in 2023.

🎥 & ✍️🏾 reposted from @metcostumeinstitute Coming May 2025, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” will examine the historical and cultural emergence of the Black dandy.

Inspired by curator Monica Miller’s 2009 book, “Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity,” the exhibition will present 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.

Colman Domingo (@kingofbingo), @LewisHamilton, @ASAPRocky, @Pharrell Williams, and Anna Wintour will co-chair the next #CostumeInstitute Benefit on the First Monday in May. LeBron James (@kingjames) will serve as honorary chair.

The Benefit, also known as The Met Gala, celebrates the opening of the 2025 exhibition “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” and provides The Costume Institute with its primary source of annual funding for exhibitions, publications, acquisitions, operations, and capital improvements.

“Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” opens to the public on May 10 and will be celebrated at the 2025 Met Gala on May 5.

Key City Steampunk was brief for me, but it was a perfect backdrop to show off my favorite color: blue. I love this outfit and the color, and I enjoyed my time at Key City wearing it, as well as the friends and folk within it! Great job Wheeler Stone and Tobias! . . . . . #dandy #dandyism #steampunk #fashion #style #dapper #fancy #menswear #mensfashion #mensstyle #sartorial #gay #gaylife #gaystagram #ootd #blacklgbtq #blackexcellence #yourdandy #gaydandy #blackdandy #iamdandy #dandystyle #gaystyle #blackstyle #steampunkfashion #steampunkdandy #fan #bluefashion #keycitysteampunkfestival (at Clarion Inn Frederick Event Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1W1z1Thlxr/?igshid=154uyk8sjx2kg

#DandyLion returns to NYC Thurs June 12!! So happy to be a part of this photography exhibit! 🎩 RG from curator and mastermind @apshantology: Can’t believe it’s been 8 years since this image by @hanifabdurrahim was hung in a pop up gallery in Harlem. Dandy Lion has taken me and so many others, so many places. It would be my absolute honor if you could join me and exhibiting artists this Thursday at the Nathan Cummings Foundation for the Opening Reception for Dandy Lion: (Re)Articulating Black Masculine Identity. Thank you @emendezberry for making this possible. Special thanks to MoCP for its continued support and organization of the show. And per usual my publisher @aperturefnd for its awesomeness. Make sure you RSVP because space is limited - link in my bio. Oh and @papermonday will be in the house capturing you all in your finery. 🎩 #blackdandy #thedandylionproject #dandylionproject #wearedandy #iamdandy (at The Nathan Cummings Foundation)

Immortalized by @sunflowerman I’ll never forget this day, my first time in Florence and at Pitti Uomo 93. I had just arrived from Rome and Tony insisted we take this shot. One of my favorite shots ever.

British-Ghanaian art curator Ekow Eshun (@ekoweshun) latest new book ‘Africa State of Mind : Contemporary Photography Reimagines a Continent’ identifies artists who confront Africa as continent, an idea and image through contemporary African photography. . Here, we reflect on his 2016 exhibition Made You Look : Dandyism and Black Masculinity in collaboration with London’s the photographers gallery (@thephotographersgallery) that examines black dandy, as a provocation response to stereotypical portrayals and physical objectification of black men. .
