Relive Chicago Does the Met

Last week, the Stan Mansion transformed into a runway of culture, impact and unapologetic style — and our community was the heartbeat of it all. The 4th Annual Chicago Does the Met, proudly sponsored by Woodford Reserve, was a powerful tribute to Black creativity.

With this year’s theme, “SuperFine: Tailoring Black Style,” we honored the legacy of Black Dandyism through sharp silhouettes, fearless elegance, and stories stitched into every look.

We’re proud to share that Chicago Does the Met made headlines! Discover the rich history behind the evening’s theme — and how storytelling came to life through fashion — in this powerful feature from the Chicago Sun-Times.
