Contemporary fashion designers of African origin meet classic textiles from the collections of the Museums of World Culture
‍
Black Thread follows West Africa's ancient dynamic textile traditions to today's designers. The exhibition's co-creators Marché Noir and Imane Ayissi are two Paris-based brands making a big impression on the international stage. Their creations follow the thread back to West Africa's weavers, tailors, markets, colors, materials, and cuts — beyond the image of printed fabrics as typically African.
