Breakfast in Bed with Fashion Stylist Tina Leung

Today is the release of Aperture's newest book The New Black Vanguard. Written and edited by curator and critic, Antwaun Sargent, the book portrays 15 black fashion photographers who have all gone around traditional media to build their careers. Talent like Tyler Mitchell, the first and only ever black photographer to have his work on the cover of Vogue, Micaiah Carter and more have all contributed to the book, which is filled with beautiful imagery as well as important conversations between the older and younger generation of black photographers. Before the launch party at the Top of The Standard, we met up with Sargent to discuss the powerful message behind the book.

To the rest of the city, it may have been a regular Monday night — but paparazzi were already stalking the driveway of The Standard, London, awaiting the blacked-out cars that pulled up to deliver their guests into the iconic ‘red pill’ elevator. With the pop of a car door came a hail of bright flashes, and with good reason: hosted by Derek Blasberg, every inch of the LOVE x Youtube party was star-studded, promising yet another evening of stratospheric glamour on The Standard’s tenth floor.
