Lots 2215 to 2237:Geraldine Wynn Marchand Fashion Student and Private Collector, Bath

Geraldine Wynn Marchand worked at the Bath Fashion Museum for over 25 years, working as Head Guide, and lecturing on the history of costume to a wide variety of organisations.  Her experience in the Museum prompted her MPhil on textile printing in 1993 and thesis on the development of the handkerchief, which featured on BBC Radio 4’s Women’s Hour in the 1990s.  Her passion for clothes and accessories, from antique hatpins to geometric dresses, has spanned a lifetime.

Born in Llandrindod Wells in 1939, after studying ceramics in Tehran, and qualifying as an art teacher at Hornsey School of Art in London, she became based in London.  Dividing her time between teaching and working as a prop’s assistant for Len Fulford’s commercial photography studio, near Regent Street and Carnaby Street therefore placing her at the heart of the Swinging Sixties fashion.  Geraldine loved browsing London’s street markets for treasures from Brick Lane to Portabello Road, this would continue after moving to Bath in 1969 with her husband.
