Here’s my pick of three things to do this week
STOP
What: RCA Secret
Where: RCA Dyson Building, London
When: Exhibition March 14-22, sale March 23 8 am-6pm
RCA Secret is back for its twentieth anniversary. RCA Secret is an annual exhibition and sale of over 2,500 postcards by professional artists, designers and illustrators, including alumni and postgraduate students at the Royal College of Art. Each postcard is priced at £45, and include famous names such as David Bailey, Manolo Blahnik, and Orla Kiely. The catch is you don’t know whose artwork you have bought until you turn the postcard over and see their name.
LOOK
What: Miss G- The Private World of Greta Garbo

On display are pieces from here wardrobe that were made-to-measure by her Russian-born neighbour Valentina Schlee, including monogramed hankerchiefs, wrist-length gloves and skirt suits from the 1950s.
LISTEN
What: Lore

When: Until March 21
Director Cate Shortland (Somersault) presents a story of a young German girl who, at the end of WWII, leads her siblings through a devastated and defeated nation. An encounter with a mysterious refugee forces Lore to rely on a person she has always been taught to hate.
