Superfine: Tailoring Black Style

Upper East Side

For the first time in 20 years, the Costume Institute turns its full attention to menswear, unpacking Black dandyism from the 18th century to today through 12 thematic sections: Ownership, Presence, Distinction, and beyond. Expect monumental sculptures, bespoke mannequin heads, paintings, films, and garments that reframe how we understand style, identity, and power.
