In The New Black Vanguard: Photography between Art and Fashion, curator and critic Antwaun Sargent addresses a radical transformation taking place in fashion and art today.

The featuring of the Black figure and Black runway and cover models in the media and art has been one marker of increasingly inclusive fashion and art communities. More critically, however, the contemporary visual vocabulary around beauty and the body has been reinfused with new vitality and substance thanks to an increase in powerful images authored by an international community of Black photographers.
In a richly illustrated essay, Sargent opens up the conversation around the role of the Black body in the marketplace; the cross-pollination between art, fashion, and culture in constructing an image; and the institutional barriers that have historically been an impediment to Black photographers participating more fully in the fashion (and art) industries.

Fifteen artist portfolios feature the brightest contemporary fashion photographers, including Tyler Mitchell, the first Black photographer hired to shoot a cover story for American Vogue; Campbell Addy, founder of the Nii Agency and journal; and Nadine Ijewere, whose early series title, The Misrepresentation of Representation, says it all. Alongside a series of conversations between generations, their images and stories chart the history of inclusion, and exclusion, in the creation of the commercial Black image, while simultaneously proposing a brilliantly reenvisioned future.

Photographs by Campbell Addy, Arielle Bobb-Willis, Micaiah Carter, Awol Erizku, Nadine Ijewere, Quil Lemons, Namsa Leuba, Renell Medrano, Tyler Mitchell, Jamal Nxedlana, Daniel Obasi, Ruth Ossai, Adrienne Raquel, Dana Scruggs, and Stephen Tayo

And including conversations with Shaniqwa Jarvis, Mickalene Thomas, and Deborah Willis

Delay was not as bad as originally told
Size: 33W x 34L, Color: Dark Stonewash
My original review was the pants were delayed 2 days with zero explanation other than sorry & was not posted because it did not meet the community standards, no cursing was included. They did jump through it & delivered the next day not 2 days. The pants were my 1st wranglers in a long time & apparently run larger than the Levi's that I normally wear so I returned for a smaller waist & length that came very quickly & seem good for the money.

Big Guy comfort at Lil guy price.
Size: 58W x 30L, Color: Lieutenant
Being a bigger guy I can't go to Walmart or Target and find pants at me it seems to be a problem I have no matter where I go. And going to a big and tall store is extremely expensive. But I found these jeans here on Amazon and I ordered them not only did they fit comfortably I could breathe in them I could move I could bend I could squat I've even gone to work in these and been comfortable throughout the day they didn't cling to me they were the most comfortable pants I had in a long long time. I wore these jeans so often that finally after actually a couple of years I wore right through them I like ripped right out of them but the material with everything I do and I work in shipping and receiving the material lasted a good two and a half years with constant wear and tear so the material is strong it stretchy to go with moving around and breathed with me kept me warm on the Dock,and they made me look good. Washed them regularly and that didn't wear them out either. Overall for any big boys out there a 10/10.
