In this week’s episode, Lucy and Ben begin a new mini-series that looks in-depth at the work of fashion designers whose clothing engages with themes we regularly explore through costume; chiefly identity and representation. We start by looking at the technically accomplished and creatively daring designs of award-winning British designer Craig Green.
Appropriately, this episode is brought to you in conjunction with our partner Penhaligon’s and their bespoke fragrance service. So, if you are feeling sufficiently inspired by hearing about the creativity of Craig Green, this could be your opportunity to make a statement through scent...
