On Thursday 4 December from 18:00 to 20:00, listen to a roundtable discussion: Perfected mannequin: Perfected body? Chaired by Steven Connor, Professor of English, the roundtable will explore notions of perfection of the artificial figure - and the human body - from a number of different perspectives. This is one of the central themes in the exhibition and will be discussed by literary scholars, curators, designers and fashion historians. Click here for booking details.
