Upcoming dates to mark in your diary…
Tuesday 3 March 2026, Venue: Grey Coat Hospital School – 6.15pm Members Meeting, lecture at 7.00pm
Julie Summers – Unbuttoning Vogue
Julie is the author of ‘Vogue: The Biography of an Icon’. It tells the story of British Vogue from 1916 up to the present. Vogue not only covers fashion but also includes all things related to Britain, including the arts, politics,
health, travel and much more.
The story covers the magazine through the difficult times of two world wars, the freedom of the swinging sixties and the rise of the supermodel.
Julie has had exclusive access to the Vogue archive and therefore the book boasts hitherto unseen material and behind the scenes interviews with Vogue insiders.
Julie is both a writer and historian. She is the author of the book Jambusters, the inspiration for the ITV series Home Fires. A number of her books focus on the Second World War. Over the past quarter of a century she has published Dressed for War, When the Children Came Home, Our Uninvited Guests and Fashion on the Ration.
We look forward to hearing her on March 3rd at Greycoat Hospital School.
April 2026 – TBA
Tuesday 5 May 2026 – Charlie Ross – Tales of an Antiques Auctioneer
