Julie Summers: Fashion on the Ration

Jersey Festival of Words

Tickets: £8

7:00 – 8:15pm

Julie Summers, the bestselling author of Jambusters, lifts the veil on the captivating story of fashion in the Second World War. From the young woman who avoided the dreaded ‘forces bloomers’ by making knickers from military-issue silk maps, to Vogue‘s indomitable editor Audrey Withers, who balanced lobbying government with driving lorries for the war effort, Julie Summers weaves together stories from ordinary lives and high society to provide a unique picture of life during the Second World War.
