💨 Abstract

The Met Gala's "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" exhibit highlights Black dandyism, a fashion style that embraces bold colors, fine tailoring, and individual creativity. Michael Henry Adams, a cultural historian, credits the style to his childhood fascination with Harlem's elegant residents, as seen in a museum exhibit. Dandies emphasize self-expression, creativity, and confidence, often finding inspiration in their environment and personal style icons.
