About this Event

Lucy Ridley browses the rails of History Wardrobe’s Quant collection, exploring key trends of the era and showcasing fabulous fashions, including frocks, tights, boots, make-up and the intriguingly titled Booby Trap…

After the event there’s a chance to take a closer look at garments from the M&S Archive, including stylish designs for the ‘inbetweeners’, and pieces from our ‘Junior Miss’ collection.

Refreshments included, booking essential.

Proceeds from ticket sales will go to Leeds Baby Bank*.

*After Eventbrite fees of 80p per ticket, £4.20 from each ticket will go to Leeds Baby Bank, registered charity number 1179029
