Exhibition Black British Style

The Victoria & Albert Museum in London is hosting a new exhibition entitled "Black British Style". The exhibition opened last week and explores fashion and styling in all aspects of black life and culture in Britain.

Outfits worn by immigrants in the 1950s and 1960s feature alongside other extraordinary historical outfits and photography. Even the extensive (well over 1000) trainer-collection owned by Goldie is being exhibited. To accompany the exhibition a book titled "Black Style" has been edited by Carol Tulloch and is available for £ 19.95. The exhibition will run until 16 January 2005.
