Fashionable Finds

Get ready for a foray of fashion with Caroline Hawley! Today’s show comes from the Bowes Museum’s fashion and textile gallery. Caroline embarks on a journey through various eras of fashion, from fancy footwear to jazzy jackets! She shines a spotlight on some fashion finds from our teams and reveals the most profitable pieces at auction.

Fashionista Adele Atherton joins Caroline to showcase her creative ways of transforming unloved pieces of clothing into fabulous fashion statements, and Caroline learns about a 19th-century empress, Eugenie of France, who was a serious follower of fashion, from the museum fashion curator Rachel Whitworth.
