Janey: The Autobiography of Janey Ironside, Professor of Fashion Design at the Royal College of Art e-bog

As Professor of Fashion Design at the Royal College of Art from 1956 to 1968 she played a role in the sixties revolution that turned Britain's rag trade into a high-turnover mass-market industry targeting a new generation of cash-rich youth. Working behind the scenes, she trained a cohort of bright young designers including Ossie Clark, Bill Gibb, Zandra Rhodes, Sally Tuffin and Marion Foale.Originally published in 1973, this book is now part of theV&AFashion PerspectivesSeries.
