Patch Work: A Life Amongst Clothes

Synopsis

Claire Wilcox is best known for her work as senior curator of fashion at the V&A, where she has staged shows such as Radical Fashion, Vivienne Westwood, The Golden Age of Couture: Paris and London 1947-57, and Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, as well as launching the groundbreaking, Fashion in Motion in 1999.

She brings all this knowledge to bear in Patch Work, which is a genuinely original memoir about her life, work, family, and her relationship with clothes. It’s strange, poetic, moving, and very beautiful.
