BLACK BRITISH STYLE
by Kenny Campbell

Black British Style at the V&A is the first exhibition in the UK to explore the style and fashion of black people in Britain and their impact on British culture over the past 50 years.
Highlights of Black British Style include Mis-Teeq's outfits from their 'Scandalous' single and a selection of trainers from Goldie’s private collection; an elegant ‘arrival’ outfit worn by Dr Beryl Gilroy when she emigrated to Britain in 1952; a ‘Free Angela Davis’ t-shirt; Jazzy B’s outfit for the Back to Life video; traditional African textiles and garments; and clothes and accessories by influential fashion designers Wale Adayame and Joe Casely-Hayford.
From the 7/10/2004 – 16/01/2005
