Julie Summers

The end of the Second World War did not put an immediate end to rationing of food or clothes. From onesies to wear in the Air Raid Shelters to jewelry created from aeroplane parts, men and women in Britain had found new ways to dress within severe austerity measures.

Join Jambusters author Julie Summers at IWM North (part of Imperial War Museums) to hear about how fashion survived and even flourished in 1940s Britain. Julie is the author of the newly-released book Fashion On the Ration, which complements the major new exhibition of the same name at IWM London.

This free talk is part of IWM North’s commemoration of the 70th anniversary of VE Day.
