— TNS: STORIES

The New Stereotype (TNS) celebrates and highlights the many diverse layers of Black life in America through fashion, photography, and film.

STORIES is a year-long story-telling journey that celebrates the lives of Black men and women in their truest and most authentic form. The result: an engaging coffee table book featuring more than 50 people across 26 original fashion editorials shot in New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

Each installment of the book, labeled a CHAPTER, as an ode to the synopsis of each person’s story, serves as an interconnected thread to show how Black men and women are both a powerful ballad individually yet an unspoken symphony in unison.

Global Launch on Sunday November 12th, 2023 (11.12.23)
