Kendall Jenner has demonstrated again and again how to hit the Dress Code of the Met gala. And this 2025, the model has refined the aim. With a theme with as many nuances as it is Superfine: Tailoring Black Style (Impeccable: the preparation of the black style) and a Dress Code Where what has been done prevails, the guests faced one of the most background proposals in recent years.
First, there was a minor space for metaphors than in 2024, when the event clothing code was THE GARDEN OF TIME. Something that, now, has led to the tailoring to be the undoubted protagonist, creating the perfect moment to bet on emerging signatures. Something that showed Tyla dressed by Tolu Coker hours before the event, adjusting to the established pattern.
So, Kendall Jenner He decided to collaborate with her friend and stylist Gabriella Karefa-Johnson To show off a two -piece set, made by the designer Torishéju Dumi. And it is that the creator, who gives his name to her homonymous firm Torishéjuit has all the necessary elements to succeed in this edition. “This look is very personal for me, since it expresses the versatility of black dandism and tailoring and what it means to a British black woman. It challenges the preconceived notions of how one must dress or design based on their gender, race or origin,” Dumi itself advanced about styling.
Through the jacket and skirt, Torishéju classic male fashion reimagined. Specifically, through a female prism that takes as a reference to Gladys Bentleyan elegant icon queer of the women of the Renaissance of the Harlem of the twenties. The jacket has elongated and draped panels on the front, which wrap the waist forming a loose knot on the back and They are a wink to Nigerian wrapping traditions. Something that creates the illusion of a tailoring to layers, actually being a single garment.
A detail that, as the firm “provides fluidity, accentuates the waist and lengthens the body” and that completes the set with The skirt“Embodying Torishéju’s DNA: a fusion of inheritance, innovation and modern sophistication.” Characteristics more than enough for Jenner to decide to take the brand, as explained to this header. “The vision was to find a new and young designer. I wanted to find something interesting, fresh and super exciting for me.” And without a doubt, he has succeeded.
