Podcast on wartime style in Britain
March 4, 2010
The National Archives jumps on the bandwagon with a podcast on designers Norman Hartnell and Hardy Amies and their role in creating British style during the age of austerity. A transcript of the podcast is also available further down the page.
Fun fact: Hardy Amies (“His only handicap is his precious appearance and manner”) went to the same school as my boyfriend.
