IN their stylish fedora hats and wide-legged Zoot suits, the passengers on board the Empire Windrush cut quite a dash as they walked down the gangplank to begin a new life in Britain more than 70 years ago.
Their sense of style and swagger was no one-off but an integral part of life here as a Caribbean migrant.
An online exhibition at the Museum of London marking this yearâs Windrush Day offers an insight into this legacy through the story of one man, Lazare Sylvestre, as told by his fashion designer granddaughter Tihara Smith.
