Lollipop Dress Bluebeat Style

The arrival of African and Caribbean people in Britain during the 50s and 60s witnessed the blending of various styles. Through talks, discussion and reminiscence, film extracts, photographs and the Swinging Sixties exhibition, we shall explore hair styles, Black style and entertainment, and the impact of the African Diaspora on design. The event will feature new and leading fashion designers, style icons and academics. To have your photographs used as part of our one-day exhibition, send good quality photocopies of your images (in colour where applicable) to the African Caribbean Officer (+44 (0)20 7942 2184) at the V&A, no later than 27 October 2006.

I’ve been wanting to post about tata-naka for a while now, managed to get a chance today.

ABOUT

Identical Georgian twins Tamara and Natasha Surguladze have surged on to the London fashion scene. Arriving in Britain in 1996 to study at Central St. Martin’s, they launched their label in 2000. Their two-part collections mixing Russian memories, prints and uncompromising modern cut have struck a chord with rapidly increasing stockists. This season in addition to their expanding accessories range they are introducing swimwear, lingerie and children’s wear. A Tata-Naka store is in the pipeline

INTERVIEW
What would you say is your label’s key look?
We do a collection each and they both have very different looks – but we show them together. Tata’s part. ‘Stolen Memories’, is romantic, decorative and feminine. Naka’s clothes focus more on experimental cutting and textiles.
