"...the Atlantic diaspora is the story of how and why Black people became arbiters of style..." (Miller, 2009).
WELCOME
Hello and welcome. I am Elli Michaela Young, a researcher, creative practitioner and independent curator specialising in Jamaican fashion and textiles from 1950 to 1970. My work explores the intersections of identity, cultural heritage, and design history, uncovering the overlooked narratives of Caribbean fashion. Through this research, I examine how these stories reshape our understanding of design history.
