The Museum of London has acquired an ensemble from London fashion designer Tihara Smith’s ‘Windrush collection’ along with a suit owned by her grandfather. Both pieces, and oral histories recorded for the museum by Tihara, her mother and her grandfather have been made available to explore on the Museum of London website to mark Windrush Day 2021.
Designed as part of Smith’s UCA Epsom graduate collection in 2018, and selected for display at Graduate Fashion Week, the outfit specifically references the story of her grandfather Lazare Sylvestre, who arrived in the UK from St. Lucia in 1958 as part of the Windrush generation.
