Fashion City: How Jewish Londoners shaped global style

The “Fashion City” exhibition at the Museum of London Docklands explores the major role Jewish immigrants played in shaping the UK’s fashion industry. The display, extended due to popularity, focuses on tailors, designers, and entrepreneurs—many of them Jewish—who turned London into a global style capital. With stories from East End workshops to luxury brands, the exhibition features recreated ateliers, archival garments, and historic photographs.

It celebrates fashion as both an economic engine and a cultural expression for London’s Jewish communities. Curated talks and panels accompany the exhibit, reflecting on how Jewish designers influenced icons from David Bowie to Princess Diana. It also invites broader discussions on immigration, identity, and creative legacy. “Fashion City” positions Jewish Londoners not only as participants but as key architects in defining British fashion history.
