On 24th February 1997, five women took to the stage at the BRIT Awards and in three minutes and thirty seconds, British pop culture changed forever.
This episode tells the story behind the most iconic dress in pop history: a black Gucci mini-dress transformed with a Union Jack tea towel. But this isn’t just a fashion story.
It’s about control. About five young women who refused to be managed quietly. About reclaiming symbols. About challenging a male-dominated industry and taking control of their own destiny.
From the wardrobe malfunction headlines to Mel C’s on-stage challenge to Liam Gallagher, from global merchandising madness to Sotheby’s auction room drama, we trace how one homemade dress became a record-breaking artefact and why Geri chose to let it go.
