'Stephen Bayley on Women as Design' at the V&A
In his latest book, 'Woman as Design: Before, Behind, Between, Above, Below', design critic Stephen Bayley, explores the female body and its relationship to design.

For Bayley woman is a masterpiece; the perfect fusion of form and function. Feminine curves, proportions, fissures and orifices, Stephen insists, have inspired designers from architects to car-makers for centuries. So is this a useful re-evaluation of the female body or a sexy makeover of female objectification? Stephen discusses these issues.
