If you watched the Met Gala this year you know that the theme
was Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.
The companion exhibition is now open at The Met.
It runs through October 26th so there’s still
plenty of time to visit.
They chose to display the art –
in a cool black multi-terraced room.
The show includes some historical pieces like Frederick
Douglas’s attire,
Black Panther mementoes,
and a Josephine Baker ensemble.
I was also amused to see that one of the sponsors of the show
was Instagram. 😊
