Even in the buffet of amenities that New York City private schools offer — state-of-the-art gyms and science labs, black box theaters and greenhouses, bespoke college guidance and dream teacher-to-student ratios — having a museum-caliber James Turrell Skyspace on your rooftop is in a class of its own.On the sixth floor of Friends Seminary, a Quaker school in Manhattan, Turrell, the internationally acclaimed artist who uses light to shape space, has created one of his perception-altering meeting rooms whose roof opens to the sky. Bathed in a spectrum of shifting radiant color, that slice of sky appears to float inside the installation, titled “Leading,” the only one of more than 85 Skyspaces by Turrell around the world attached to an active K-12 school.

As the female face of the early 00s garage collective So Solid Crew, Lisa Maffia felt a need to transition her style from tomboyish tracksuits to a more feminine look. She recruited the help of 90s designer Walé Adeyemi to produce the black leather dress she wore in the 2001 music video for the group’s most enduring hit, 21 Seconds. It was a recreation of a Christian Dior dress designed by John Galliano that she had spotted but couldn’t afford. Maffia, whose story is just one of the pop culture moments retold in Garms, a new documentary about Black British fashion, quickly became an icon and inspiration for a generation of Black British women and girls.In the film, host Ayishat Akanbi gives viewers an education in legacy Black fashion designers and stylists who have dressed Black Briton...
