Talk on 'Exiles and Textiles' by Dr. Anna Nyburg from Imperial College London

Join Dr. Anna Nyburg from Imperial College London for a talk on Exiles and Textiles.

Dr Nyburg will be giving the background to the history of fashion in Germany and England before the war and looking at the different ways in which the German-speaking émigrés made their mark on the British clothing industry- whether through textile manufacture and design, fashion journalism and photography, or as employees in different capacities in the big retail enterprises such as Marks and Spencer. An important topic will be the education and training of these refugees, as a way of trying to understand what different approaches that the Germans and Austrians brought with them.
