Online public lecture hosted collaboratively by V&A Dundee/Design History Society.

Join Fiona Anderson, Author of 'Tweed' to explore the history, design and consumption of Scottish fabrics. From rural beginnings to the couture houses of Paris, Scottish wool textiles continue to be influential in fashion across the globe. Fiona will discuss her research into the international design impact of fabrics from Scotland, examples of which can be explored in our Scottish Design Galleries.

Using new research into the private archives of Chanel, Dior and Balenciaga, Fiona will explore the important relationships between Scottish designers and manufacturers and Paris-based couture houses.
