Identity Through Fashion

Bethan Holt – Fashion News & Features Director for The Telegraph – and Kirsty Hassard – Co-Curator of V&A Dundee’s current exhibition Tartan – discussed ‘identity through fashion’. Focusing particularly on Queen Elizabeth and Frances Farquharson, the New York socialite and Harper’s Bazaar editor who lived in nearby Braemar Castle, both of whom were great lovers of the Highlands and used tartans and tweeds to show this to the world.
