Episode 2 of 7

To discuss 1950s fashion, Stuart Maconie and Lauren Laverne are joined by clothes auctioneer Kerry Taylor, designer David Sassoon and boutique owner Brix Smith-Start.

Stuart Maconie and Lauren Laverne put British style and fashion between the 1940s and the 1990s into the dock. To discuss the 1950s they are joined in the studio by Kerry Taylor, the woman who has auctioned the clothes of the rich and famous, including Edward and Mrs Simpson. Fashion designer to royalty David Sassoon and hip boutique-owner and former pop star Brix Smith-Start also help decide whether the legacy of 50s style is society glamour or the innovation of teenage rebellion.
