Talking Fashion at LifeCare

Join us for our free LifeCare talk this Friday!

LifeCare Hub, 2 Cheyne St, Stockbridge

Free tea and coffee 

During this session we’ll be looking back at what the people of Edinburgh and the Lothians, have chosen to wear over the decades; following fads & fashions from the past and how we dressed to impress.

We’ll look at where people shopped for their clothing, whether buying traditional tartan, a Victorian corset on Princes Street, teen garb in Leith or flared denim on 1970s Cockburn Street.

We look forward to seeing you all there!
