SUMMARY:Superfine: Tailoring Black Style Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The Costume Institute’s spring 2025 exhibition presents a cultural and historical examination of Black style over three hundred years through the concept of dandyism. In the 18th-century Atlantic world\, a new culture of consumption\, fueled by the slave trade\, colonialism\, and imperialism\, enabled access to clothing and goods that indicated wealth\, distinction\, and taste. Black dandyism sprung from the intersection of African and European style traditions. \nSuperfine: Tailoring Black Style explores the importance of style to the formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora\, particularly in the United States and Europe. Through a presentation of garments and accessories\, paintings\, photographs\, decorative arts\, and more\, from the 18th century to today\, the exhibition interprets the concept of dandyism as both an aesthetic and a strategy that allowed for new social and political possibilities. Superfine is organized into 12 sections\, each representing a characteristic that defines the style\, such as Champion\, Respectability\, Heritage\, Beauty\, and Cosmopolitanism. Together\, these characteristics demonstrate how one’s self-presentation is a mode of distinction and resistance—within a society impacted by race\, gender\, class\, and sexuality. \n#SuperfineStyle \nThe exhibition is made possible by \n\n\n\nMajor funding is provided by Instagram\, the Hobson/Lucas Family Foundation\, Africa Fashion International\, founded by Dr. Precious Moloi-Motsepe\, and The Perry Foundation. \n\n\n\nThe Met Fifth Avenue\n\n\n1000 Fifth Avenue\nNew York\, NY 10028\nPhone: 212-535-7710\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Met Cloisters\n\n\n99 Margaret Corbin Drive\nFort Tryon Park\nNew York\, NY 10040\nPhone: 212-923-3700\n\n\n\n\n\n

HERITAGE is a gathering of generations\, identities\, and chosen families—a space where self-expression is sacred and community is everything. \nCome for the music. Stay for the vibe. Leave part of something bigger. \nPart of the proceeds will be donated to the NYC Pride Association\, Heritage of Pride. \nPurchase tickets here: https://www.sickening.events/e/heritage-nycpride/tickets?utm_source=affiliate&utm_name=NYC-Pride-IG&utm_campaign=NYC-Pride-IG&utm_id=67e44cdef6f041489d1300430a1e61ae
