Tailored for you - Met Gala

The 2025 Met Gala theme is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style". The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition is inspired by the work of Monica Miller and her book "Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity". The exhibition is curated by Miller and the Met Costume Institute’s Andrew Bolton. Here are some books on tailoring, black style, dandyism, and men's fashion. There are also books and movies related to co-chairs Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, Anna Wintour and honorary co-chair LeBron James.
