Lee Miller's Clothes
I think I have written about the extaordinary Farley Farmhouse before. The Sussex home of Lee Miller and Roland Penrose, who moved there in 1949 and stayed for 35 years.
If you have never visited I urge you to go, it is one of the most remarkable places I have ever been to. I was lucky enough to have worked there for a while with Tony Penrose their son and his daughter Ami Bouhassane.
This little film popped up in my feed and I really want to share it with all of you. I am a huge fan of vintage textiles and hope you may find this interesting.
