Bedazzled: curator talk

Come and hear our fashion curator, Pauline Rushton, talk about our current exhibition of beautiful beaded and sequined evening dresses, dating from the 1920s to the present day.  

This talk explores the evolution of style, as well as the cultural significance, of glamorous evening wear over the past century. Learn about the specialist craftsmanship behind these garments, produced by the hand-beading technique known as tambouring.
