From Sunday’s best, to the frontlines, and the everyday in between, master Tailors & seamstresses have long been the cornerstone of Black life. For @voguemagazine I highlighted some of those phenomenal Black Tailors across America 👔 #metgala2025 vogue.com/article/black-tail…

Today marks 40 years since the first cases of HIV surfaced. We lost a generation of our Black queer foremothers & fathers and subsequently parts of our oral history due to the disgusting, mishandling of this virus.

Megan thee Stallion’s effortless/unintentional branding is really a case study in itself! “Drive the boat” “hot girl summer” etc. like these catchphrases are fucking everywhere, Megan is EVERYWHERE!!!

The one and only Joan Carol Clayton! The Chloe, the big hoops, the power suits, the Birkin used as a work bag. Nobody was seeing my girl.
I would love to see a documentary on the process behind styling our iconic Black sitcom characters from the 80s-early 00s.
Who was y’all’s favorite BLACK girl style from any era on any sitcom?

No shade to the IG/tik tok fashion girls but the Twitter fashion girls are engaging with fashion in a completely different perspective. It’s archival, it’s researched based, it’s critically engaging with the work, live commentary on red carpets etc. all with a side of satire/wit

I really love the way Ayo Edebiri & her stylist have crafted this lit fashion girl but make it a little off kilter” aesthetic. Rosie Assoulin is something i didn’t think I’d see on the Golden Globes carpet.

Y’all are moving really weird with this whole Sha’Carri Richardson ordeal. It’s lacking nuance and perspective. Have you ever lost your mother while becoming a worldwide fixture, with all eyes on you? We all have our ways to cope with loss & manage stress & anxiety.

1982
Ahead of his Dior debut on June 27, creative director Jonathan Anderson shares images from his mood board, offering insights into the inspirations informing his new vision.
“As I started out on this journey, I kept returning to these photographs of Basquiat and Radziwill who are both, for me, the epitome of style.”

All The queer representation in the exhibition really warmed my heart. In fact majority of the contemporary art was by Black queer artists (Ike, Isaac Julien, Barkley), Josephine Baker, Gladys Bentley, disco queen Sylvester’s jacket… Black dandyism is queer theory!
I sure hope so. In the book, Miller dedicates a section to examining this very series (and film) Isaac Julian’s Looking For Langston, in which she positions the tuxedo as a stand in for “the queer artistic underground.”

There’s a playfulness, a whimsy here that I’ve been wanting from P’s LV. If I’m being honest, this is much more in line with Virgil’s legacy.
