Cake and conversation feature at this salon, where the audience joins journalist Hilary Rose, Caterina Radvan (London College of Fashion) and Nigel Hartley (St. Christopher’s Hospice) to explore the psychology of fashion in relation to illness and how, after death, the protective and comforting aspects of clothing are no longer essential, but their symbolic values may remain.
