“In June 2022 the Victoria and Albert (V&A)museum in London will stage an exhibition on the history of African fashion, from independence through to the present day. It is an ambitious task: no exhibition could ever do justice to the fashions of an entire continent. But with 250 pieces, curators hope to show that there is far more than tassels, beading and wax prints. The V&A show will shine a spotlight on African designers, such as Lagos Space Programme, who are increasingly being recognised in the world’s fashion capitals. African talents are vying for some of the industry’s biggest awards, such as the LVMH prize for young artists - Thebe Magugu of South Africa is a recent winner.”
