Hi all,
Next week I’m heading to Albury for a talk on my new book “Style is Eternal” at the wonderful Library Museum. Here’s the blurb from the site:
Award-winning author Nicole Jenkins shares her old-school fashion tips to take your modern wardrobe from faddish to eternally stylish, without breaking the bank. Included will be a demonstration on creative ways to wear scarves.
Here are the details:
What: Talk on fashions by Nicole Jenkins
When: 2-3pm, Saturday 23rd May 2015
Where: Albury Library, Corner of Kiewa and Swift Streets, Albury NSW
Cost: gold coin donation
Bookings essential: call 02 6023 8333
More information at the website – see here.
Stay afterwards to tea and coffee and to hear the original music of Katie Whyte. For more author discussions, pop upstairs before and after my talk. The Sydney Writer’s Festival: Live and Local program will be live streaming all day.
There’s also an exhibition of Australian couture with original pieces...”created by significant Australian designers Beril Jents and Germaine Rocher, as well as European designers Hardy Aimes and Jean Patou. In a time before the internet or Australian fashion weeks, the glamorous high-society of Paris, the fashion capital of the world, was still a lifetime away from the wide open spaces of regional Australia.”
Might have to take some pics of the exhibition for those of us who won’t make it – Hope to see you there!
I would be tempted to say “high society of Paris, ONE of the fashion capitals of the world” from my view point in not too shabby London!
