Ìý The Poncho 5ÌýAugust 2004 Ìý
Bad idea or hot fashion for a cool summer?

A cool summer has seen the revived poncho's popularity soar on the streets, especially in the North.

Stephanie Smith is appalled. She's fashion writer for the Yorkshire Post, and believes they make tall women look like standard lamps and short women look like toadstools. Is she right?

Anthea Jarvis is principal curator, for the Gallery of Costume in Manchester and she talks to Jenni about the history of the poncho.Ìý
