Culture Club: The Closet: how clothes provide a lens into queerness | Part 2

Did you have a favorite item of clothing during your childhood? Clothes, what we wear and why we wear them provide a lens into so many aspects of queerness. Our guest today, editorial director of Soho House, Teo van den Broeke, has written a beautiful memoir called ‘Closet’ about exactly this. There are brilliant stories of the realities of being in the Closet in the nineties, from MSN accounts entitled ‘ILoveWomen87’ to errors with concealing your internet search history on the family computer- it’s a coming of age story like no other and you're going to LOVE it!
