A Fashion Fairytale + A History Lesson: The Bonnie Cashin Archive with Dr Stephanie Lake

This week’s guest is Dr. Stephanie Lake. Stephanie is the fifth scholar in the world to earn a Ph.D. in Decorative Arts, Design History, and Material Culture. Stephanie established herself as a decorative arts curator before opening her gorgeous jewellery design firm, Stephanie Lake Design. Her one of a kind jewellery designs are informed by her work as a curator, archivist and auction specialist. Towards the beginning of her career, while living in Manhattan, Stephanie became part of the four-person team that launched Sotheby’s Fashion Department. Together, with her scholarly work, this led to a friendship with the fashion designer Bonnie Cashin, now known as the "mother" of American sportswear. After forming this friendship Stephanie then went on to curate major retrospectives of Bonnie Cashin’s work in the US and Japan and then published the definitive biography of the designer with Rizzoli New York. Upon Bonnie Cashin’s death, Stephanie became Bonnie’s sole heir. With that she created a multi-million dollar network of philanthropic programs in Bonnie Cashin’s name, and owns Bonnie Cashin’s personal deign archive. The archive is among the most significant single-designer archives in existence today.

Treasure Hunting with Marion Boyce

Marion Boyce is an internationally renowned costume designer working across film and television in Australia and overseas. She has been nominated for an Emmy and a Costume Designer’s Guild Award and won the AACTA Award for Best Costume Design in a Television Series and the same award for Best Costume Design in a Feature Film. Wow.
She’s famously designed costumes for Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries and, one of my favourite films, The Dressmaker. Beyond that she has designed for multiple films and series, and worked with some of the best people in show business. She has also designed a number of touring exhibitions.

Marion is a generous soul with who also has fabulous personal style as well as the largest collection of vintage I have ever seen! I hope you love this episode as much as we do.
