Fashion Talk with Gill Evans Catling
Event Information
Description
If you are, or have ever been active in the Mod scene you will have heard of Gill Evans Catling. Gill and her late husband Del Evans were original Mods back in the sixties, having already coined the pre-Mod term Continentalists in the late 50s. Always stylish & polished, Gill is a walking master-class of Mod style; a beacon of feminine tailoring and a true Icon of Mod.
Gill still creates clothing collections today and will be talking about her life and love of fashion with an array of photographs and garments as visual aid.
