Nicole Farhi, Fashion Police, Madame Bovary, Abortion in films

BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Nicole Farhi, Fashion Police, Madame Bovary, Abortion in films

Jane Garvey talks to Nicole Farhi about why she has moved from fashion to sculpture.

Nicole Farhi turns from fashion to sculpture; Madame Bovary revisited; Portrayal of abortion in films; 16th-century fashion police; talking about sex acts. Jane Garvey presents.

Nicole Farhi on why she's moved from fashion to sculpture; the new film 'Obvious Child' has been described as an 'abortion rom com' -how has the portrayal of unwanted pregnancies on the big screen changed over the decades? We discuss how and why the 16th century fashion police crusaded against flamboyance and consider who has taken over the style patrol today.  Why Flaubert's classic Madame Bovary still resonates today. And we look at whether young people need to talk more openly about pleasure and consent when it comes to sex acts.

Presented by Jane Garvey
Produced by Shoku Amirani.
