MEET THE SHOWCASE OF DANDY MODELS ...

COMING SOON

Prepare to be mesmerized as over 25 Dandy Fashioned Black male models grace the runway!

This enchanting evening will mirror the iconic Met Gala, a charity affair dating back to 1948. This year, the Met Gala theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," draws inspiration from the thought-provoking book "Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity." We are thrilled to align our Knoxville event with this theme, creating our very own “Beck-Met Gala” at the same time as the New York festivities.
