About this listen

 Worn in Kingston celebrates 60 years of award winning fashion in the London borough of Kingston upon Thames. This miniseries is tied to The Community Brain's year long project in 2024/25, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, that celebrated this story, particularly the leadership of Daphne Brooker as Kingston University's Head of Fashion from 1963 to 1992 that helped Kingston become one of the leading fashion schools in the country.
