Jenny Kee

January 2024

A trailblazing generation shows they are not finished yet – whether they’re going part-time, mentoring or reinventing themselves.

From scandalous pants to the sunglasses that lit up a nation, Australia’s political history is littered with fashionable missteps.

Nowadays, Kee can’t imagine not wearing her red Thierry Lasry cat-eye specs. Here, she and other designers show you their own favourite design items.

The late designer will be remembered at an exhibit in November, as the museum calls for public submissions to boost its collection.

The 74-year-old fashion icon appears in a film that explores her brushes with death, money, friendship and partnership with Linda Jackson.

Before their first retrospective exhibition, Jenny Kee and Linda Jackson share some key moments in 40 years of designing together.
