Legend of the Kee

They rocked on Keith Richards, gave Roger Daltry even more mojo, and made Marianne Faithfull serenely sexy. Australian designer, Jenny Kee, is celebrating her famous friends with a new story – the rebirth of the 60s scarf. And Mr. Rose is thrilled to have her on board!

Jenny’s new collection muse is the bias style scarf made truly hip by the aristos and rockprincelings in the 1960s. “In the swinging 60s I was part of a dynamic scene that pioneered retro fashion,” Kee said. “In London, there was a romance with the scarf and we dressed every popstar, filmstar and fashionista in 30s bias scarves and crushed velvet pants – that was the uniform.”

Embracing her past with the works of art she painted in her Blue Mountains hideaway, Jenny has captured the vibrancy of the Australian landscape. Wildflowers, opals, beach and bush prints collaged into wearable art.

Each piece has been printed and made in Australia on 100% silk crepe de chine. Truly beautiful, we have a selection of Jenny’s pieces online at the Mr. Rose Paddington boutique. Come in and seeeee!
