UPDATE: I’ve received notice that this course has been cancelled. Hopefully it will be rescheduled at some point in the future.
Lynn Savery is one of the best dressed ladies in Melbourne, with a particular fondness for the knitwear styles of the ’30s to the ’50s. Using vintage patterns, she started knitting her own and found there was demand so now hand-knits to order for some fashionable local boutiques.
She’s starting a new class at the CAE on the history of fashion knitwear, and will cover progress from domestic handcraft to commercial product. Many designers will be covered including the revolutionary styles of Chanel and Schiaparelli in the ’20s up to Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood in more modern times.

I’m sure my wife would love to do something like this. I was going to secretly sign her up as a present. Unfortunately a Tuesday is no use to anyone! Please let me know if you decide to rerun the course on a weekend.

Hi David,
Thank you for comment – I agree that the time is not ideal. You might like to pass your comments along to the CAE and perhaps they’ll host it at a more suitable time in future?
I’m not involved in the classes, just promoting them.
Hello,
I would be interested in getting Lynn Savery to guests speak at a luncheon at my venue. Would it be possible to get her contact details?

Hi Elyse,
I’ve passed your enquiry on to Lynn, hopefully she’ll get in touch soon. If you’re looking for speakers, I am also available for presentations on the history of dress and textiles.
all the best – Nicole
