Lee Miller: Fashion in Wartime Britain, an interview with Ami Bouhassane and Amber Butchart

During our annual winter hiatus, we bring you some of our favorite episodes from Dressed's back catalog.

This week we revisit our 2021 episode about model, photographer and humanitarian Lee Miller, who is the subject of the 2024 film Lee starring Kate Winslet. Miller's granddaughter and archivist Ami Bouhassane and fashion historian Amber Butchart joined us to discuss Lee's work for British and French Vogue during the years surrounding WWII, and her decision to leave the fashion world in the wake of the War.
