Fashion icons like Dapper Dan, Janelle Monae and the late Andra Leon Talley are known for their distinctive approaches to sartorial style – bold splashes of colour, luxurious fabrics, playful construction, capes – but fashion savants and historians agree that a common thread weaves their tailored looks together: dandyism.
The history-laden style movement will be front and centre as part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute spring exhibit, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”.
