Miller’s 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. While there haven't been many details about how this applies to the dress code, Vogue revealed that the exhibit will explore “style of Black men in the context of dandyism, from the 18th century through present.”
