13 MOSES SUMNEY

“WHAT I LOVE from West African culture are the silhouettes,” Moses Sumney recently told Rolling Stone, summing up his style philosophy. It’s a testament to his confidence that the Ghanaian American singer-songwriter can fill a space with his presence, even when dressed entirely in different shades of black (“vampiric” is one word he has used to describe his aesthetic). The son of two pastors, Sumney has often been inspired by the “draped” looks of his father’s robes, favoring garments that seem to flow off his body. As he told W in 2018, “I’m quite over the tailored suit being the only option for men.” K.R.
