What does Black style reveal about cultural identity in Britain?
As a new exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum opens in London, we discuss the diverse approaches to clothes, textiles, hair and accessories that make up Black British Style.
Carol Turrock, co-curator of Black British Style and Cynthia Lawrence John, who has worked as stylist to the Sugababes, Miss Eliot, Mis-Teeq, Macy Gray and Ms Dynamite talk to Ritula Shah about Black style and its impact on fashion in Britain.
Black British Style opens at the V&A on 7 October and runs until 16 January 2005
