Did you know Mrs Isobell Steel?
This photograph is on Canterbury Stories as part of our Star Copy Print collection and was taken between 1960 and 1964.
The handwritten description on the back of the image says that Mrs Steel was a Christchurch clothing designer and is seen in her workroom with fabrics whilst planning a new gown design.
We would love to learn more about Isobell Steel, and we need your help! Any information about her, her shop, or the Christchurch fashion scene of the era is invaluable.
