Fashion icon and artist, Jenny Kee helped create an Australian fashion identity. Her Australiana designs became world famous when Princess Diana was photographed wearing her knitted jumper with a koala emblazoned on the front
In this episode Jenny reveals the intoxicating night she spent with John Lennon, and shares stories of dressing music icons Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Jimmy Hendrix in 1960’s London.
Jenny also reflects on her near death experience in the GranvilleTrain Disaster and the profound effect it had on her life and creativity, setting her on a path to create her famous prints and collages and become a design trailblazer
Jenny has never forgotten the thousands of Australians who came together to donate blood to save the lives of those who had been injured and has created a limited-edition bandage for blood donors to wear throughout March in support of International Women’s Day, which are available at Lifeblood donor centres. To book a donation, call 13 14 95 or visit lifeblood.com.au
