Publisher's Synopsis
Spanning from the 1970s to the present day, 'The Missing Thread' charts the shifting landscape of Black British culture and the unique contribution it has made to Britain's rich design history. The exhibition examines how the cultural, counter-cultural, political and socio-economic backdrop of the 20th and 21st centuries have shaped the identity of Black style and in turn mainstream fashion culture. Extending far beyond the realm of the catwalk, the exhibition spotlights and contextualises the profound impact of Black creativity through music, photography, art and design.
