Event details

Described as ‘Rip Van With-It’ by Cyril Connolly, and a dandy by others, Cecil Beaton’s influence was extensive in his lifetime and continues to grow long after his death. Fashion historian Benjamin Wild makes use of archive material and conversations with some of Beaton’s tailors to consider his personal style and sartorial legacy.
