A new exhibition has opened in London to chart for the first time the contributions that Black British culture made to UK fashion and design history and to celebrate Black designers who haven't received public recognition.
The Missing Thread: Untold Stories Of Black British Fashion (running until Jan 7, 2023)at central London's Somerset House pays tribute to the influence of Black designers in fashion from the 1970s.
