BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Celia Birtwell; Grayson and Philippa Perry; Breton stripes

Jenni Murray discusses how we think and feel about our clothes.

Offering a female perspective on the world. Jenni Murray looks at our changing relationship with clothes and fashion with guests including Celia Birtwell and Melanie Rickey.

Jenni Murray talks to Celia Birtwell about her passion for print, textiles and her career in fashion. 

We discuss the difference between clothes and fashion; why is it that we form an emotional attachment to some clothes and throw others out? 

Grayson and Philippa Perry talk about the wardrobe they share with Clare, Grayson's alter ego. 

Fashion historian Amber Butchart and Melanie Rickey examine the enduring appeal of the Breton Stripe. 

And we ask why do so many of us adopt a kind of uniform, wearing the same colours and styles, day in and day out?

Presenter: Jenni Murray
Producer: Laura Northedge.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
