Fiction Comes to Life - Darnell Collection Media Launch

Linda in 1930s wool crepe.

Gorgeous garments, great company and some amazing stories - Burrinja Cultural Centre, along with Eastern Regional Libraries, held the Fashion Meets Fiction media launch on August 17, 2012. Charlotte Smith was there to present some of her vintage collection and talk about the histories behind the clothes.

Our models looked absolutely devine. Linda wore a 1930s wool crepe and sequin ensemble inspired by the clothes of Muriel Spark's "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie". Jilly modelled a 1950s red silk taffeta dress inspired by the character Della Street in Erle Stanley Gardner's "Perry mason Mysteries". Charlotte also modelled a 1960s gold lame and polyester hostess gown inspired by the wardrobe of Octopussy, a James Bond classic authored by Ian Fleming.

It was a wonderful morning tea, and thank you to all the people who attended! For more photos, check out our Facebook Page.

The Darnell Collection will be on display from 9 November to 17 February.
