There is nothing I love more than discovering why someone puts on the clothes they do to face the world each day. In this podcast that’s exactly what I find out. I don’t believe anyone ever just gets dressed. Whether it’s a tracksuit or a ball gown, our clothes reflect a moment in time. Where we are, who we are with and how we feel. What we wear says so much about who we are, and it’s been a joy to get under the layers of my brilliant guests and I cannot WAIT for you to listen, get 15th November in the diary!
