Sartorial Stories: Beatrice Behlen, Museum Of London

Created and presented by Susanna Cordner, Senior Research Fellow: Archives at LCF, Sartorial Stories is our In Conversation series in which Susanna interviews leading figures from the fashion industry and invites them to bring in one item from their work or from their wardrobe. In this episode, Susanna interviews Beatrice Behlen, Senior Curator of Fashion at the Museum of London. Through her object choices of a selection of recent acquisitions in the museum’s collections, Beatrice highlights the relationship between biography and dress, London’s own fashion history, and considers a curator’s relationship with their own clothes.
