Tyler Mitchell, a pioneering Black photographer, is reshaping how fashion is represented by the Metropolitan Museum of Art for its spring 2025 exhibition, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style." Rather than only photographing the garments, Mitchell proposes to depict them as they were worn throughout history, emphasizing an embodied narrative. His photo spread will feature notable figures in contemporary dandyism alongside models showcasing historical garments, highlighting a cultural dialogue that celebrates the legacy and evolution of Black men's fashion.
Mr. Mitchell highlighted the importance of showcasing the history of Black men's fashion: 'This is an embodied conversation... it felt urgent to go beyond simply object documentation.'
The 30-page photo spread for the exhibition 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' reflects contemporary interpretations of dandyism while celebrating its historical roots.
