Peter Capaldi presents a documentary looking at artists who cut their teeth in Glasgow, and whose work is now attaining global recognition. Bellshill born Gerry Tayor is a designer who studied at the Glasgow School of Art, and who now works in Milan for the avant garde Memphis collective, founded by the great Italian designer Ettore Sottsass. Glaswegian hairdressing duo Irvine and Rita Rusk opened their first salon in Hamilton. Their innovative, at times gravity-defying hairstyles have made them among the most celebrated hairdressers in the world.

Biography is a documentary television series. It was originally a half-hour filmed series produced for CBS by David Wolper from 1961 to 1964 and hosted by Mike Wallace. The A&E Network later re-ran it and has produced new episodes since 1987. The older version featured historical figures such as Helen Keller and Mark Twain, or long-dead entertainment figures such as Will Rogers or John Barrymore. The A&E series has placed the emphasis on such people as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Plácido Domingo, Freddie Mercury, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Eric Clapton, Pope John Paul II, Gene Tierney, Selena, Diego Rivera, Mao Zedong and Queen Elizabeth II, and fictional characters like The Phantom, Superman, Hamlet, Betty Boop, and Santa Claus. The program ended up profiling enough figures that in 1999, A&E spun it off into an entire network, The Biography Channel.

Fashion underlines our individuality – or does it? What do dress codes tell us about conventions? Whether normcore, „old money style“, school uniforms or police uniforms – clothing reveals a lot about the identity, tradition and status of its wearers. Fashion is therefore more than style: it is pure psychology and a reflection of its time.
