Thoughts from the Bus Stop

Inside Out: Psychology and Fashion took place on 12 October 2005 at the Royal Institution, and is now available as a webcast. It was organised by the Ri and Miss Selfridge, the speakers are Hilary Alexander, Dr Ali Guy and Dr Nigel Marlow, and the Chair is Baroness Susan Greenfield:

"Most of us, when we’re feeling truly honest, will admit that what we buy on Saturday trips to Oxford Street isn’t really essential to our survival. But the stuff we carry back home with us in shopping bags is a big part of our self identity, and says a lot about where we see ourselves in society...

Your brain is on the lookout for ways to reward itself. So why does it choose to do it with a pair of shoes? Perhaps nothing else we buy contains as much of our self image as our clothes. We all have an idea about what clothing images work for us, and most probably have stories about times we made style mistakes! How can fashion take your personality from the inside out? This event (brings) together a unique mix of two psychologists and a fashion editor to look at the vibrant life of the fashionable brain."
