Two weeks ago, on February 5th, over fifty ladies from the CWC and many other clubs such as the St. John’s Wood Women’s Club, the Kensington & Chelsea Women’s Club, the Petroleum Women's Club, FIWAL and friends of CWC members were entertained by the wonderful anecdotes and juicy bits of gossip about the stars and their fashion stories by our speaker, Bronwyn Cosgrave.
Bronwyn is a fashion journalist, broadcaster and author – and Canadian! She gave us a detailed and fascinating look into the stories that went into her most recent book Made For Each Other: Fashion at the Academy Awards.
Our audience braved the streets and pavements still showing signs of the recent snowstorm (well done everyone) and were captivated by Bronwyn's enthusiasm for her passion – fashion! Two very lucky ladies won copies of Bronwyn's book to add to the fun of the morning.
You can read more about Bronwyn’s book, her frequent appearances on television and her other media work on her website – and purchase her book on Amazon by clicking here.
We extend a huge thanks to Bronwyn for taking the time to speak to us – and to everyone who helped to make the occasion so enjoyable. The event was a great success, raising £500 for our charity, the Maple Leaf Trust.
And if you’re into surfing the web, be sure to catch the clip of Bronwyn on the CBC website. Go to the CBC video pages, then click on the link to ‘fashion’, then scroll down the list of items and click on ‘Erdem’s Raincoats’. This link might not always be there, but if you manage to catch it, CWC members should know that Erdem was one of the recipients of a Canadian Centennial Scholarship – awarded through the CWC and Maple Leaf Trust!
