Andrew returns to ILF after wowing a sold-out audience in 2023 with his talk featuring jewellery he made to be worn in the TV series Downton Abbey. This time hell be presenting a follow-on session about fashion and jewellery design from the 1930s to 1959. World War 2 had an extraordinary effect on fashion and jewellery design with stars like Marlene Dietrich, Joan Crawford and Grace Kelly being perfect models to show off both. With recovery after the war and the development of labour-saving devices and leisure time, people had more opportunities to strut their stuff. The arrival of Christian Diors New Look in 1947 was a particular sensation. Andrew is a London jeweller and a master of his trade. An accredited lecturer, he has an enviable ability to inform, fascinate and entertain an audience.
