Afrocentric Black Dandyism fuels my passion—storytelling through style to elevate Black men, earning Vogue’s nod at the Met Museum.
We would like to thank you for supporting Frederick Attah Agyei in this years competition. Your participation allows us to empower the Elton John AIDS Foundation in their mission to end AIDS for everyone, everywhere.
What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out because it blends Afrocentric Black Dandyism with minimalism, sustainability, and storytelling. Every piece I wear carries provenance—whether it’s heritage textiles, upcycled elements, or bespoke tailoring—communicating identity, culture, and purpose. I don’t just dress; I narrate history and elevate presence, transforming garments into living art that bridges tradition and modernity.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is curating a global stage where Black men are elevated through style—seeing them celebrated as icons of dignity, creativity, and power. Whether at Paris Fashion Week or the Met Gala, I envision telling our stories through garments that honor heritage while shaping the future, proving that style is not just appearance but liberation.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would invest $20,000 into creating more editorial and curatorial style projects that showcase the richness of Black Dandyism. My goal is to build a community of Black style influencers, stakeholders, and creatives who champion this movement—using fashion as a platform to celebrate identity, preserve heritage, and elevate Black men globally.
