Sammy Davis Jr.
Dignity, confidence, attitude and a fine eye for all things fly kept these men on our radar then and now. Join us in celebrating 10 Black style pioneers with impeccable swag.

The Harlem-born Rat Packer had an affection for tailored suits and sharp footwear and was never one to shy away from whimsical accessories, like the polka-dot tie and satin pocket square he’s pictured in here.
