The theme for the year was ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. It drew inspiration from Monica L Miller’s book ‘Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.’ The theme chronicles how fashion contributed to the formation of Black identities. Meanwhile, ‘Tailored for You’ was the dress code.
