Followed by Q&A.About this EventEvery morning, we make a choice about what to wear. But what does our clothing actually communicate about who we are - and who holds the power to decide what our garments mean? Far from being a simple daily routine, fashion serves as a fascinating mirror of historical memory, personal identity, and culture. It reflects the complex ways different societies have intersected, traded, and influenced one another over centuries.In this talk, Professor Ling takes us on a global journey to explore how clothing and textiles have traveled across borders through trade, migration, and cultural exchange. Along the way, dress has rewritten the rules of beauty, belonging, and status. Through fascinating, unexpected stories from around the world, discover how the wardrobe can celebrate heritage, challenge deep-seated stereotypes, and reveal the hidden power dynamics behind our daily style choices. Join us to unpack how fashion doesn't just reflect society – it actively shapes how we see ourselves and each other.Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7:30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!Follow us on IG @seedtalksSpeaker Bio:Professor Wessie Ling is a cultural historian specialising in global fashion studies.
