In the 1950s, BHI became so well known that a famous London milliner taught hat, glove and bag-making in our classrooms! It’s also the same decade when we had a near clean sweep in the Junior Dressmaking competition at the Royal Melbourne Show.
Former student, Joan, took the time to sit down with us for an interview to share what it was like to study back them.
Make sure you see her video and our other tales from the ‘50s being released on the digital timeline today.
