FASHION historian Dr Benjamin Wild will be presenting a talk entitled Sir Cecil Beaton: My Fashionable Life as part of Salisbury Fashion Week.

Wild will be giving an informative and entertaining insight into the fashion and influence of Sir Cecil Beaton in his entertaining and informative talk.

Hot off the heels of the recent Cecil Beaton at Home exhibition at Salisbury Museum, the talk is taking place at Leaden Hall School on Friday, September 26 from 6.30pm-9pm.

Wild will make use of archive material and conversations with some of Beaton's tailors to consider his personal style and sartorial legacy. The fashion historian who lectures at the Condé Nast College of Fashion & Design in London is writing a book about Cecil Beaton's style that will be published next year. Tickets are £20 to include a glass of fizz on arrival and canapés. Advance booking only, visit salisburyfashionweek.co.uk or call 01722 330913 for tickets. Salisbury Fashion Week launches on September 25 and runs until October 1.
