BBC - Men, Women and Clothes - Part 5

Part 5 is informal clothes, very interesting.

In this programme Doris Langley Moore talks about how the capriciousness of fashion is demonstrated most readily in informal clothes, which are less expensive and therefore changed more frequently than formal attire. We are also shown an original example of the revolutionary Dior 'New Look' suit of 1947 alongside the boxy, utilitarian alternative favoured by the British Government, no less.
