The Gentlemen's Code
The Museum of London has teamed up with fashion156 favourite Carolyn Massey to bring you an insight into the inspiration behind her mainline and Topman collections. This talk is part of the 'Evening Lectures' programme at The Museum of London and allows you to get a little closer to the designer behind the collections. Carolyn will be discussing her interpretation of the 'Gentleman' in her work, which was influenced by the research undertaken in The Museum of London's extensive archives.
