This luncheon was held at Burrinja on November 21 as part of the Fashion Meets Fiction Exhibition Program. It was an excellent turn out - just shy of 100 people came to listen to Marion, who was a fantastic speaker. Councillor Samantha Dunn was there to open the luncheon with her wonderful humor (we love having Samantha at these gatherings!). We were also lucky to have various press and bloggers such as Yahav Ron from Paris '99 there to enjoy the event.

This was a very popular talk for all lovers of the Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries television series and questions could have gone on for ages - everyone just loved hearing about the stories and challenges Marion has come across in her career as a costume designer. Marion's work was simply stunning and we can all agree the audience was completely captivated.

Big shout outs to the ladies and gentlemen who came dressed in vintage attire! What a lovely surprise - they were a bit shy for photos - but they looked incredible in 1940s couture. Also, to the girls with their vintage hair, pincurls and victory rolls - stunning.

Thank you to everyone who came and a big thank you to Marion Boyce for being available to talk about her costume designing career. If you missed out on seeing Marion talk, here is an interview snippet from the Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries Youtube channel.
