A Met Gala Debrief with FRD
This year, The Fashion and Race Database is hosting a live roundtable “Met Gala Debrief,” as we react to the looks and key moments from the event – through a fashion academic lens.
Who’s ready for the Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute? Here at FRD, we are very excited for this year’s event celebrating "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style." This exhibition will spotlight Black masculinity and its relationship to fashion and style.
On May 6 at 5:30 PM EST, join Dr. Jonathan M. Square, Associate Professor, Parsons School of Design and Founder of Fashioning the Self in Slavery and Freedom, Darnell Jamal Lisby, Assistant Curator, The Cleveland Museum of Art, and Kimberly Jenkins, fashion studies scholar and Founder of The Fashion and Race Database for a “Met Gala Debrief,” as they react to the looks and key moments from the event – through a fashion academic lens.
The event will be moderated by Shelcy Joseph, Founder and Editor of Market Appointment, assisted by Markeilan Smith, Winter/Spring 2025 intern at The Fashion and Race Database and M.A. candidate, Fashion Studies at Parsons School of Design–Paris.
