The MET catalogue for Superfine: Tailoring Black Style shot by Tyler Mitchell (2025)
“My aim was not only to depict visions of profound camaraderie, beauty, and joy—though that alone would have been a worthy pursuit—but to explore how Black individuals have appropriated and transformed classical European fashion into something uniquely our own.” –Tyler Mitchell Explore the “humanity, pride, playfulness, and intentional wit that define dandyism” through a new visual essay photographed by Tyler Mitchell. From the “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” catalogue, Mitchell’s essay features models wearing select contemporary garments from the exhibition, alongside fabulously self-styled men in vintage or the wearer’s own attire—all embodying the camaraderie among well-styled Black men across generations. #SuperfineStyle opens to the public on May 10.
