Her contributions to Superfine & Superfly: Black Girls Explore Black Dandyism were crafted through original fashion sketches, digital renderings, and a reflective mood board. Her work is rooted in her personal journey: from crafting dresses for her Barbie dolls as a young girl to designing bold, colorful garments that pay homage to the rich elegance and individuality of Black style today.
Inspired by Black dandyism, her latest trio of designs celebrates self-expression, elegance, and cultural pride.
Each look reinterprets traditional menswear through a distinctly feminine and artistic lens.
Bold prints, structured tailoring, and exaggerated silhouettes meet vibrant colors, layered textures, and poetic styling.
From the oversized patchwork skirt to the sharply collared cropped shirts and eclectic accessories, these pieces honor the legacy of Black dandies who used fashion as resistance, identity, and art.
This mood board celebrates the essence of Black dandyism. A bold and expressive tribute to Black excellence, style, and individuality. Through tailored silhouettes, rich textures, and fearless color, it highlights the unique way Black creatives use fashion as a language of resistance, elegance, and identity. Each image reflects a narrative of pride, power, and legacy, where every garment becomes a declaration of culture and self-worth. - Arieal Lynnore
