From East End tailors to the glamour of Carnaby Street, Jewish immigrants made major contributions to London’s bustling fashion scene. This rich history is explored in a new exhibition at the Museum of London Docklands, which throws a spotlight on the work of Jewish designers who made London an iconic fashion city. Discover more as we join Insiders/Outsiders for a special Zoom event with Fashion City’s curator, Lucie Whitmore, who will share her insights and highlights of the exhibition.
For more Fashion City action, we’ll be hosting a music and poetry afternoon at the Museum of London Docklands on Sunday 26 November.
