## Caption

I went to the Met yesterday. They invited me to a private viewing of the #superfinestyle exhibit, and it really lived up to the hype. I loved it, and I got plenty of photos to share.

You guys voted to see the history first, so here it is. Personally, I'm more excited by some of the modern designs, but you can wait a week for those.

The caption is going to take me some time, but I didn't want to delay any longer before sharing the photos.

1. Two real vintage zoot suits, both from the 40s. I have an old video on zoot suits, I'll share it again in a bit.

2. Here, we see costumes from Prince and Sylvester. Man, Sylvester was so good...

3. "Uncle Lionel's Birthday" by Andy Levin, showing a southern tradition of wearing money on your birthday. I didn't know about this. Good stuff.

4. Suits by Jeffrey Banks and Morty Sills.

5. "A Student at Howard" by Lois Mailou Jones.

6. "Slick" by Barkley L. Hendricks

7. Two silk shirts by Joe Cassidy-Hayford

8. Various documents from W.E.B. Du Bois

9. Classic dapperdanharlem 

10. "Portrait of a Youth in an Embroidered Vest,” by Marie-Victoire Lemoine. They don't know who this boy is, or why he is dressed so finely, but cool painting.

11. General Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, and 13. His son, Alexandre Dumas, author.

12. A sword and scabbard that belonged to Faustin-Élie Soulouque.
