Coup de coeur
(Fashion), by Mariama
Monica L. Miller's academic analysis of black dandyism highlights how sartorial style is crucial to black identity in the diaspora. This work, which inspired the 2025 Met Gala's "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," suggests that fashion and dandyism serve as tools for self-expression and resistance against societal oppression for black communities. The dandy, in this context, is portrayed as an outcast and revolutionary figure who transcends conventional boundaries of sex, race, and class.
A work on the history of black dandyism. It examines the pivotal role that style has played in the politics and aesthetics of African diasporic identity formation.
