SUMMARY:'The Ark': Wedgwood and European Refugees\, 1933 -1945
DESCRIPTION:Between 1933-1945\, thousands of European refugees escaping Nazi persecution sought refuge in Britain. Due to an apathetic British Government\, assistance for refugees was the responsibility of individuals\, organisations\, and businesses\, such as Wedgwood. Unfortunately\, their efforts of the latter have remained unexplored\, as have the stories of those arriving into their care. Through archival material and collections held at the V&A Wedgwood Collection\, this talk by Michael Ruddy will reveal how the Wedgwood Family and Company worked resolutely to help those being oppressed across Central Europe. \nMichael Ruddy is an Assistant Curator at the V&A Wedgwood Collection\, situated in Barlaston\, Stoke-on-Trent. He joined the V&A from Arts Council England\, where he worked in the ELU and GIS teams. He has also worked at Leonard Cheshire\, supporting the digitisation of the Charity’s historically important sound collection\, and at Boughton House cataloguing the Buccleuch Collections. Michael has completed a BA History degree from the University of Derby and an MA in Museum Studies from the University of Leicester. In addition to ceramics\, his other research interest is the role of museums in social justice and representation. \nImage: Terracotta Bust of Ulla Goodman\, ca. 1940 \nTo book\, click here.

SUMMARY:In the English Tradition? Rima Model Gowns in the 1940s
DESCRIPTION:In 1939\, Leo and Greta Neumann established the fashion business ‘Rima Model Gowns’ at 8 St. George Street\, Hannover Square\, London. Within just a few years\, Rima became one of London’s leading wholesale couture firms. The couple worked closely with established English textile mills and innovative modern émigré textile designers to produce their garments and were known internationally for their quintessentially ‘English’ garments with a twist. \nThe Neumanns’ success was achieved despite incredibly difficult circumstances. The couple\, as Austrian Jewish émigrés\, escaped Hitler’s regime in 1938 and faced many challenges upon arrival in England. Through garments and archival material\, this paper recreates the remarkable story of one of London’s most significant fashion businesses of the 1940s and its founders. \nLiz Tregenza is a lecturer in Cultural and Historical Studies at London College of Fashion and runs her own vintage business. She is the author of Wholesale Couture: London and Beyond\, 1930-1970 (2023) and co-editor of Everyday Fashion: Interpreting British Clothing since 1600 (2023). She was awarded her PhD by the University of Brighton in 2018. \nImage: Conker colour wool suit jacket by Rima made for export\, 1941 \nTo book\, click here.
