“The British do have a style genius. I think we have some of the best designers in the world. We changed the way fashion was in the 1960s. We have some of the best high street stores in the world. And there should be a programme celebrating it.” Twiggy, in British Style Genius

British Style Genius begins by telling the story of the story of British High Street Fashion, in which fashion icon Kate Moss makes a rare TV appearance whilst working on her new line of clothes for the British High Street.

• British Style Genius - Episode 4: By Royal Appointment - The Country Look

By Royal Appointment examines the essence of classic country clothing - embodied throughout modern history by the Royal family. From Queen Victoria to King Edward VIII to our current Head of State, HM Queen Elizabeth II.

As sported by the royal family, it is a quintessential British style which continues to influence fashion designers around the globe.

Traditional “country” clothing is full of class connotations but it also transcends them to become a symbol of a certain kind of British spirit.

Garments are practical, durable and perfectly designed to deal with the ever changing British weather.

From the waxed jacket, to tweed and floral - these British staples are constantly being redesigned for modern fashionistas.

As the doyenne of fashion journalists, Suzy Menkes says, “the love of floral is an entirely British thing."

• British Style Genius - Episode 5: Loud and Proud - The Street Look

It is often said that British style is restrained and conservative. Over 50 years our street styles have proved that theory to be a cosy myth.

Teds, Mods, Skinheads, casuals and chavs have created a tradition that is loud, proud and in your face.

The final episode of British Style Genius explores the styles created on the street, for the street.

It explores these extraordinary style sects and their passionate desire to impress, to show off and to self express.

The film considers the emergence of the Ted. The look was edgy, dangerous, disrespectful, brazen and uniquely British; and even though its origins lay in the posh post war Edwardian revival the style was seized on by some of the poorest kids in Britain and turned into something that oozed sweat and sex.

Rest van de afleveringen komen zodra ze uitgezonden zijn. Zijn er in totaal 5.

[Bachelor]

Mooi sergio!!   =D>

[Mr.Barry]

Super. Bedankt Sergio!

[NOBD]

Nice. Mooie kwaliteit.

[Dantès]

Dit wordt gewoon uitgezonden door de BBC - ik meen BBC2 - dus ik begrijp openingspost en de daaropvolgende posts niet zo goed. Laatste keer dat ik in Nederland was kon je BBC daar nog ontvangen.

In deel 2, dat ik een week of twee geleden zag op de BBC, een mooie observatie over verschil tussen Engelse en Italiaanse stijl. Iets met individualiteit geloof ik....

[Mikey Fuoco]

Het hangt in Nederland van je signaalaanbieder af of je wel of geen BBC hebt, Dantès. Niet iedereen kan het nog standaard ontvangen.

[Sergio]

Daarnaast als je het gemist hebt... Grootste nadeel van TV.

[Dantès]

Oh, ik dacht dat BBC inmiddels standaard in het pakket zat in het gansche land.

[Daedalus]

Si, si. Goed werk Sergio, heb je tijd over ofzo? Moet je niet werken?

[Timothy]

Oh, ik dacht dat BBC inmiddels standaard in het pakket zat in het gansche land.

Nope, ik heb 'digitenne' en die bieden alleen BBC Prime & World aan
Gelukkig binnenkort Alice..

[gusto napolitano]

Oh, ik dacht dat BBC inmiddels standaard in het pakket zat in het gansche land.

[Camiceria]
