The Missing Thread: Untold Stories of Black British Fashion
Recommends
The Missing Thread charts the shifting landscape of Black British culture and the unique contribution it has made to Britain’s rich fashion design history. Curated by Harris Elliott, Andrew Ibi and Jason Jules – aka Black Oriented Legacy Development Agency (BOLD), the exhibition promises to fill in so many glaring gaps, and shift the perspective on the mainstream narrative on British fashion and culture. Spanning from the 1970s to the present day, it will be spilt into four themes: Home, Tailoring, Performance, Nightlife, with a final section dedicated to Joe Casely-Hayford OBE, the highly influential designer who launched his label in the mid-Eighties and died in 2019.
