Guest Speaker – All in the Best Possible Taste: 50 Years of Fashion and Style at M&S, with Dr. Jade Halbert
Fashion historian Dr Jade Halbert takes a look at British taste in fashion since the 1970s. But where did this idea of a national and coherent ‘British’ taste come from? And what role has M&S played in its formation? Jade will explore how M&S has been central to our understanding of ‘good’ taste in British fashion, and discuss what role it might play in its future.
Free event, refreshments included. Booking essential, book your place below.
Please note: although our printed leaflet shows a different start time, the talk will begin at 2pm.
