Wendy, Janey, Joanne and Madge by Henrietta Goodden
The four charismatic women who led the Royal College of Arts School of Fashion for nearly seventy years, helped establish a global reputation for British design excellence in ready-to-wear clothing.
"A fascinating and entertaining exposure of the professional and (sometimes scandalous) private lives of these four brilliantly stylish and inspirational womenThe turbulent and often unconventional history of the College in the second half of the twentieth century forms a fitting backdrop to these stories, but it’s the strength, passion, charisma, and rigorous standards of these women that we must admire. Goodden tells their story compellingly and with insight." -- Betty Jackson, Royal Society of Arts
"This remarkable book is about, for the first time in detail, four strong personalities—eccentric, stylish, talented, driven. Together, they defined fashion at the College from the Second World War right through to the twenty-first century." -- Sir Christopher Frayling, author of Once Upon a Time in the West: Shooting a Masterpiece
