Netflix is delving into people’s wardrobes this April for new docuseries Worn Stories.

Based on the New York Times bestseller, the series opens the closets of a diverse group of people to reveal a treasure-trove of tales about the meaning behind articles of clothing. Be it a pair of boots symbolising survival, a dress that’s come to stand for recovery, or a uniform that reaffirms an identity, the series illuminates the lives of the wearers through stories about cherished articles of clothing.

By turns funny, tragic, poignant, and celebratory, each episode is organised by theme and features a mix of interviews from cultural figures and talented storytellers. Animated sequences and archival footage help bring these touching yarns to life.

In association with Emily Spivack, Jenji Kohan, Tremolo Productions and Tilted Productions, the series premieres on Netflix on 1st April. Here’s the trailer:

 

Worn Stories is available on Netflix UK, as part of an £9.99 monthly subscription.
