The Fashion and Textile Museum celebrates an icon of modern dressing – the Little Black Dress. This exciting exhibition traces the advent of this wardrobe staple, from its inception in the 1920s to today’s cutting edge creations.

The show features the personal collection of LBDs from Andrew Fionda, of Pearce Fionda fame, as well as dresses chosen by top designers, including a show-stopping gown by Julien McDonald worn by Victoria Beckham in 'That Extra Half Inch'. Other highlights include designs by John Galliano, Amanda Wakeley, Giles Deacon, Zandra Rhodes and Betty Jackson. 

Look out too for London’s Little Black Dresses, as FTM will be showcasing local LBDs and the stories that go with them. If you have a favourite LBD to share please contact the exhibitions team at FTM. To find out more, read the FTM's ‘Countdown to Little Black Dress’ diary.
