Women Dandies In Photo Show
For its European premier this autumn, the Dandy Lion project will for the first time include photographs of women dandies in black communities throughout the world. Previous iterations of the acclaimed exhibition in Chicago and San Francisco have focused on black men who spurn “stereotypical and monolithic understandings of black male identity†through fashion and social attitudes—“high-styled rebelsâ€, as the curator Shantrelle P. Lewis describes them. Pictured is Osborne Macharia‘s “Mrs. S Were.”
