The 2025 Met Gala's theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," corresponds with an exhibit at the Met Museum curated by Monica L. Miller. Running from May 10 to October 26, it explores historic Black dress, focusing on dandyism from 18th century origins to contemporary influences including Dapper Dan. The exhibit features a diverse range of garments and imagery, portraying Black style as a cultural expression that transcends fashion. The accompanying catalogue includes a photo essay by Tyler Mitchell, highlighting the depth and significance of the exhibit, which celebrates a rich cultural legacy.
Superfine: Tailoring Black Style is such a rich tapestry that even the exhibition catalogue is packed with content, including an exclusive photo essay lensed by in-demand shutterbug Tyler Mitchell.
This allows for a sprawling selection of hand-picked objects, outfits, and imagery to be housed in a single space, from the origins of the Congo Sapeur movement to Dapper Dan's artisan luxury.
