Hi everyone,

My next free library talk is on soon at Nunawading library – as the weather warms up, we enter Spring Racing Carnival time and getting frocked (and hatted!) up for the Melbourne Cup. Bookings essential.

From the website:

Long before ‘Fashions on the Field’ began in 1962, Melburnians were dressing elegantly, colourfully—and sometimes outrageously—for the annual racing season. Racewear has evolved alongside racing itself, shaped by shifting fashion trends, weather, and global influences. Join fashion historian and author Nicole Jenkins for an illustrated talk exploring how London models, style revolutions, and practical considerations have all left their mark on Melbourne’s trackside fashion.

• What: A History of Melbourne Racewear with Fashion Historian Nicole Jenkins 
• Where:  Nunawading Library, 379 Whitehorse Rd , Nunawading 3131
• When: Wednesday Sept 17th, 10:30-11.30am
• Cost: free!
• Bookings and more information: Click here.

Hope to see you there!
