If you were unable to attend the exhibition in person, don’t worry – you can still explore the fascinating world of African fashion with the book “African Fashion” by Christine Checinska, available at the V&A. This book sheds light on one of the most exciting and innovative areas of fashion today and highlights the unique perspectives and creativity of African designers.
Additionally, the V&A also offers “African Apparel” by Mackenzie Moon Ryan, a must-read book that uncovers the transformations in African clothing, accessories, and jewellery across the twentieth century.
It showcases the resilience of long-standing practices that characterize African dress and the reason for adorning oneself, whether it be cultural or religious.
