THIS IS THE VISION OF TOMORROW'S FASHION

Let’s clear something up right now. The fashion industry loves to use Black creatives as "muses." It loves to put them on mood boards. It loves to borrow their "vibe." And, it definitely loves to show Black support all throughout February as if that's the only twenty-eight days out of the year we exist.

This year’s Met Gala isn’t just a red carpet—it’s a battlefield stitched in legacy and loaded with landmines. From Ann Lowe’s grace to Virgil Abloh’s rebellion, “Superfine” demands more than slayage. It demands receipts, reverence, and real story. If you're showing up without knowing the roots, you're just cosplaying culture in couture. And Shealene? She’s here to say what everyone’s thinking.
