Description

Inspired by a listener’s costume design project, this episode explores the possibilities – and problems – of dressing up with paper. As Lucy struggles with her own creativity (paper patterns are harder than they look!), Ben charts the colourful, stretchy history of crêpe and looks at artists and designers who have folded and glued to make striking fashions. Join us for a crafting session with help from Jane Asher, Dennison’s and an awful lot of sellotape References Follow @dressfancypodcast, @mslucyclayton and @benjamin_wild on Instagram Isabelle de Borchgrave Crêpe paper fashions from FIDM museum 1920s crêpe paper dress (via @guermantes.vintage) Yotam Rotem “The Library Ball” Pom Pom Factory

A smart, playful and interrogative take on contemporary fashion and its context – weaving together sartorial and social history to tell powerful, surprising stories of identity. Hosted by Lucy Clayton together with a selection of special guests including designers, artists, writers, activists, academics and of course, the dresser uppers themselves, this show explores the way we dress in all its creative, sequinned and chaotic glory.
