Introduction
Jenny Kee started her career by selling ethnic and retro clothing, cast-off Dior and Indian embroideries in 1960s London. She was born in 1947 to a Chinese father and Anglo-Italian mother. Jennifer Margaret Kee is not only a national fashion icon but an enduring figure thanks to her bright, eclectic style and fusion of fashion and art.
In 1972 saw Jenny Kee return to open her boutique, Flamingo Park. The success of the boutique drew fashion and textile designer Linda Jackson to Kee and together they created the iconic Kee colorful wool jumpers.
