I grew up opposite Kensington Temple and the congregation at the 8am service were always spectacularly dressed in prints like this.
I find it fascinating that this fabric which in England is so culturally associated with West Africa originates in Indonesia via the Netherlands. (Yinka Shonibare does too).
For those interested in the history of this fabric, Julia Felsenthal's article is great.
