It is the first Monday in May and there are designers: inside, public life and their stylist: inside in the middle of the preparations for one of the greatest fashion events of the year: the Met Gala.

What is the dress code for this year?
‘Tailored for you’ marks one of the first met Gala dress codes that focuses on men’s fashion-the last was the topic ‘Men in Skirts’ 2003. He asks the guests to consider various interpretations of tailoring and suits, but is more likely to be offered as a kind of “guide” than an instruction, which leaves space for interpretations.
What is the associated exhibition?
The dress code is based on the topic of the associated MET exhibition ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’, which focuses on the history of black dandytum. The term “dandy” refers to a person who has “studied” the elegant attraction and led to a fashion trend that was once imposed on black men in the 18th century Europe, who were referred to as “Dandified Servants”, according to the mead in a press release. Later he became a tool for black people to regain their identity through clothing and a certain personality. This process is shown in a twelve -part exhibition, each of which emphasizes a different element of the black dandytum.
