What stories do our clothes tell? What do they mean to us? Join the former editor of British Vogue for a self-deprecating, honest and moving reflection of her life to date, as she discusses her new book with Walpole CEO Helen Brocklebank, on Tuesday 17th November at 5pm, via Zoom, as part of Walpole's Women in Luxury programme.
‘As I thought about what to do with the clothes, I became more interested in what the different items had meant to me. About why I had bought them. What I hoped I might feel wearing them. Why some things I had bought again and again. Why we wear the things we wear and why some we keep and get rid of others. Which we attach an emotional value to and why. And what could be said about the world we live in by looking at the clothes we wear.’ – Alexandra Shulman
From the bra to the bikini, the trench coat to trainers, the slip dress to the suit, clothes are rarely just clothes. Former British Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman explores their meaning in our lives and in her own – considering how our wardrobes intersect with the career ladder, motherhood, romance, sexual identity, failure, body image and celebrity.
Tickets are £20 for members and non-members and include a copy of Alexandra’s book, with all profits from the ticket sales going to the NSPCC.
Please note: books will be sent out regularly, however we cannot guarantee they will be delivered before the event date if purchased after Wednesday 11th November.
