From the Sunday Times-bestselling author of Clothes...and Other Things That Matter and former Editor-in-Chief of Vogue comes an intriguing blend of memoir, anecdote, social observation and cultural history. 

Rooted in Alexandra's experiences as a child, a journalist, a young woman always looking for the great love, a mother and a Vogue magazine editor, join Alexandra Shulman as she explores the fabric of daily life alongside thoughts on style and the way we present ourselves - all described with her characteristic wit and incisiveness.

Alexandra will be in conversation with Hannah Betts, the award-winning feature writer, interviewer and columnist, whose interests cover all aspects of the zeitgeist, from feminism and social mores, to fashion, arts, and history. 


This talk will be streamed on Zoom and all ticketholders will receive a link to view on the morning of the event. It will also be recorded and available for three months following the talk for those not able to join live.
