  • Summary

  • Broadcaster Clara Amfo and fashion historian Amber Butchart uncover the secret history of fashion, from the Middle Ages to the 20th Century.

    But this isn't just about what we wore, but who we were, and who we are today. This series will look at the legacy fashion has left us, from rules that still regulate dress around gender and class, to its influence on feminism, civil rights, and the environment.

I love the story but I wanted to see photos

I wish that there were some photos to download with the story because I had to Google a lot and I wanted to see what the presenters were looking at too

A topic that really requires visuals.

A topic that really requires visuals. My imagination isn't good enough to picture all this fashion in my head.
