Wow! The Fashion Designer is inspired by Quentin Thrash @stayflythrash, who has perfected a contemporary Black dandy aesthetic. It’s refreshing, liberating, and downright sexy to see Black men playing with color, prints, and bold silhouettes. Adornment is personal expression, and when we look at men like Wisdom Kaye, Coleman Domingo, and Andre 3K, we see men unconstrained by bland social conventions, Black men who choose to be oh so beautifully free. May we all drape ourselves in self-love.
In terms of the model…check the details y’all. The perfectly manicured nails, the fact that the palms are lighter than the back of the hand. Nobody does it like us. Nobody.
