‘The Missing Thread: Untold Stories of Black British Fashion’

Plenty of blockbuster fashion shows have graced London’s most iconic museums and galleries, but plenty of stories remain untold, particularly when it comes to Black British fashion. This new major exhibition at Somerset House aims to correct this. Spanning from the 1970s to the present day and curated by Black Orientated Legacy Development Agency (BOLD) will show what impact Black creativity has has on British fashion and how Black creativity and style has evolved across the decades. Look out for work from the likes of Joe Casely-Hayford OBE, Chris Ofili, Maud Sulter, Rotimi Fans-Kayode, Marc Hare and Jennie Baptiste.
