Archivist Deborah Carnegie has gathered 70 years’ worth of photos of women from the Windrush generation to the present day getting ready for a big evening out – and changing the face of fashion in the UK as they wentBefore the beat drops, there is first the bedroom. A hot comb sizzling fresh from the stove, the gentle whirring of a sewing machine. A group of women cross-legged on the floor, swapping clothes and gossip: who got turned away at the club door last weekend? Who might show up tonight?For the London-based archivist Deborah Carnegie, there is something atavistic and sacred about the pre-night out ritual, in particular for Black British women.
