Glamorous movie stars, jetset locations and fashions in the 50s and 60s will set the scene for a presentation on – and catwalk parade of – classic Hollywood vintage couture from The Darnell Collection, the subject of Charlotte Smith’s two fascinating autobiographical books, Dreaming of Chanel and Dreaming of Dior.

Elegant daywear and sumptuous evening gowns capture the mood of Hitchcock classics – think Grace Kelly, Kim Novak and Tippi Hedren for a truly fabulous festival afternoon! Please note this is a 90-minute session.

This event is part of the Melbourne Writers Festival and More information can be found at the MWF website.
