FASHION IN LITERATURE - OUT LOUD | 3 ladies of style: 3 authors, 3 eras, 3 continents with Lise Rodgers

Descriptions of what a character is wearing can be so evocative of their personality and lifestyle, so rich with information about times gone by. At the mention of silks and chiffons, exotic colours or haute couture we sigh with admiration, imagining, as we turn the page, a world of perfect beauty. But life is not always what it seems behind a beautifully dressed façade.

LISE RODGERS is an accomplished Melbourne actress whose career has spanned stage, screen and radio. Widely known for her ongoing Jane Austen series of performances, it is her passion for the spoken word that has inspired this new venture – Literature Out Loud.
