Get your glad rags on and come down to the Shipley for a night of fabulous fashion celebrating the exhibition The Story of the Supremes from the Mary Wilson Collection.


You and Mrs Jones!

Fee Doran is a stylist and the creator of the Mrs Jones Fashion label. Fee is famed for her iconic creations including Kylie's 'Can't get you out of my head' catsuit, and has worked with everyone from Madonna to Matthew Williamson. Fee will be giving an exclusive talk about her work with pop artists and giving you the opportunity to ask about the secrets of celebrity chic! Following her customisation work with Oxfam DIY, Fee will be sharing her tailoring techniques with you - bring an old t-shirt and Fee will show you how to transform it into a bold style statement!
