Event Details

We are delighted to announce that we have Sally Chidlow joining us here at The Heath Bookshop to present a talk about Glam Fashion! In this talk, Sally will take us on a journey through its post war fashion influences to its full explosion in the mid 70s and beyond... Platforms + Flares optional, glitter obligatory. 

Sally Chidlow is an arts and fashion historian, based in Moseley. She studied textiles and Fashion at Winchester School of Art and the London College of Fashion. She went on to work for the iconoclastic Japanese designer Issey Miyake. She has worked at the Institute of Contemporary Art and Tate Liverpool in exhibitions education and was appointed Senior Lecturer in Fashion, Textiles and Visual Culture, a post she held for 22 years. Her academic work continues, researching the history of 1970's Glam fashion in the UK. 

Glam Fashion is a phenomenon of early 70s Fashion (and Music) that can be seen in a number of ways: Glam in Birmingham; ideas of fashion and music as performance of style; a fashion and music system that persists...

We now have a hearing loop at the bookshop. Please get in touch if you would like to use it and have front seats reserved.

See you there,
