Let ‘Em Hate

From Frederick Douglass’s dignified suits to Julius Soubise’s flamboyant 18th-century ensembles, and from André Leon Talley’s grandeur to Virgil Abloh’s streetwear, Black style has consistently defied exclusion and asserted dignity. The Met’s “Superfine” exhibition, organized around themes like Ownership, Distinction, and Champion, demonstrates how every sartorial choice can challenge stereotypes, spark dialogue, and reclaim space. 

Love Thyself

For today’s creatives and entrepreneurs, the message is clear: fashion is power—a tool to disrupt norms, inspire change, and redefine luxury for generations to come. 

Experience “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” at The Met through October 26—discover how Black fashion’s legacy of rebellion continues to shape the future of global culture and self-expression.
