Episode 2: The Tribe
Zakia Sewell explores the ideas of identity, aesthetics and social conditioning that lie within 'taste'.
'Taste' is considered a highly individual cultural attribute, an indicator of personality and refinement.
Exploring how personal taste meets the public realm, Zakia Sewell talks to the artist Rene Matic who's adopted their father's skinhead culture and their mother's love of leopard prints; Liza Betts, Researcher and Lecturer in Cultural and Historical Studies at London College of Fashion, UAL, who considers the tussle between brands and subcultures and how 'taste' can be a tool of control; Polly Putnam, curator of Crown To Couture, currently on display at Kensington Palace; and Laura Hawkins, Fashion Features Editor at Vogue.
