In 1980 the world-renowned Italian fabric printer, Fabio Bellotti, began printing Kee designs on silk and in 1983 Karl Lagerfeld used her Black Opal fabric at their first Chanel ready-to-wear collection.

Since then Jenny Kee has been commissioned to design tapestries, rugs and fabrics. Her clothes have been exhibited at the Gallery of New South Wales and the Australian National Gallery, at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and exhibited at 'Australian Fashion - the Contemporary Art' at Tokyo's Marimura Museum. More recently her designs have been translated into homeware - the subject of this post.
