We looked at fashion through the ages, talked about influential fashion designers, and played fashion related music.
We also touched on the subject of Eating Disorders, and looked at how the media and the fashion world can influence women and their body image by presenting images of extremely thin models.
Christine Morgan, CEO of The Butterfly Foundation, kindly took time out of her busy schedule to talk to us about this topic. The Butterfly Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation which provides support for people with eating disorders. Please click on the link below to hear our interview from tonight's show.
