Torn

Description

Gus Casely-Hayford is a British curator, writer, and as the inaugural director of London's V&A East, he's an expert on cultural history. In this BBC Radio 4 series, Gus crosses continents and centuries to explore ten key moments in fashion, from the cotton trade to Air Jordans. Torn unravels the hidden histories behind the clothes we wear – and the statements we make just by getting dressed in the morning.
