Fashion museum wants your Little Black Dress
The Fashion & Textile Museum is staging a new exhibition about the Little Black Dress and its place in history and is calling on local residents to send in pictures of their own dresses.
"We want to know about your favourite dress," says a museum spokeswoman. "Be it cocktail or classic, sexy or chic, let us take a look."
The exhibition Little Black Dress (19 June – 25 August) charts the history of the staple of the modern woman's wardrobe, including a selection of top designers' choices.
The show will also feature Londoners' LBDs and the exhibition's curators would like to see yours for possible inclusion in the exhibition. If you have a cherished LBD from the 1930s to the present day, contact the Fashion & Textile Museum. They are interested displaying a group of dresses with a personal history, so tell them your story.
If you would like to be involved and want to send the museum a photo of your favourite LBD and the story/memory behind it, please email Dennis Nothdruft at [email protected] or call 020 7407 8664 by 30 April.
