BBC Archive - Men, Women and Clothes - Part 6

The final part of this lovely series from the BBC Archive focuses on Facing the Elements

In the last episode of this series looking at the history of fashion, presenter Doris Langley Moore shows how protection from the elements has always been of secondary importance. We also see how attitudes to covering up changed completely in the 1920s, when the acquisition of a suntan became de rigueur for those serious about style.
