Horrockses Fashions: A Celebration of Pattern, Style and Colour with Dr Christine Boydell

Dr Christine Boydell follows the life cycle of a Horrockses frock from design and production to the women who wore it.

The talk examines the Preston company's quality fabrics, custom-designed patterns, fashion styling and marketing, and considers why the label became central to British fashion culture. It complements the Harris's eightieth-anniversary Horrockses exhibition.
