SUMMARY:Fashion City: How Jewish Londoners shaped global style
DESCRIPTION:Lucie Whitmore and Bethan Bide\, curators of Fashion City: How Jewish Londoners shaped global style\, which opens at the Museum of London Docklands on 13 October and runs until 14 April 2024\, will talk about this exciting new show\, with particular emphasis on the 1930s émigrés. For the first time\, this exhibition will uncover the major contribution of Jewish designers in making London an iconic fashion city. \nDiscover the stories behind the Jewish fashion makers who became leaders in their industries\, founded retail chains still on the high street today\, and dressed the rich and famous – including David Bowie\, Princess Diana and Mick Jagger. Learn about the contribution of key figures\, such as renowned wedding dress designer Netty Spiegel\, master milliner Otto Lucas\, the epitome of British flamboyance Mr Fish\, and living legend David Sassoon. \nFashion City brings together places and spaces in London with fashion and textiles\, oral histories\, objects and photography to weave this fascinating history\, where every stitch tells a truly unique story. \nThe event will be chaired by design historian Dr. Anna Nyburg\, author of The Clothes on our Backs: How Refugees from Nazism Revitalised the British Fashion Trade and held in partnership with Jewish Renaissance magazine. \nTo book\, click here

SUMMARY:Tribute to Mira Hamermesh
DESCRIPTION:In the centenary year of her birth\, Jeremy Coopman will pay tribute to his mother\, the remarkable Polish-born film maker and artist Mira Hamermesh\, who spent most of her working life in England. The event will be chaired by David Herman. \nMira Hamermesh was born in July 1923 in Lodz\, Poland into a comfortable middle-class Jewish family\, the youngest of three children. Mira was 16 when the German invaded Poland in September 1939. She and her brother Mietek decided to go to Palestine to join their sister. Her parents stayed in Lodz: her mother died of starvation in the Lodz ghetto in 1942; her father perished in Auschwitz in 1944. \nMira and her brother escaped to Lvov in Soviet-occupied Poland where they were separated. Mira reached Vilnius in Lithuania in 1940. Her sister Genia\, who had emigrated in 1938\, procured her an entry visa to Palestine and she finally reached Palestine in 1941 where she was reunited with her sister. Her brother reached Palestine in 1943. Mira won a British Council scholarship to study at the Slade School of Fine Art and moved to London in 1946. \nIn 1961\, Mira was accepted into the Polish National Film School in Lodz. In 1968 she was invited to help set up Israel Television and produced several documentaries for the fledgling broadcaster\, including the much praised ‘The Fighters of the Ghetto’ about a kibbutz set up by Holocaust survivors in northern Israel. \nThe mid-80s to the early 90s saw Hamermesh’s most creative period\, including several acclaimed documentaries for Channel 4. Her final film\, ‘Loving the Dead’ (BBC TV\, 1991)\, was a deeply moving exploration of how present-day Poles live with the ghosts of their missing Jewish neighbours. \nMira Hamermesh died in 2012. In 2014 the BFI celebrated her life and works with a short retrospective introduced by Jeremy Isaacs\, founding father of Channel 4 and one of her greatest advocates. \n  \nBooking link here\nImage: Josef Herman: Portrait of Mira Hamermesh
