'A glittering silk and velvet pageant costume worn for the centenary of Victoria celebrations in 1934 and 1935 is currently a centrepiece of State Library Victoria’s Velvet, Iron, Ashes exhibition, and is our cover image for this issue. The story of Jessie Brookes (later Clarke), who wore the costume, featured in issue number 102 of The La Trobe Journal. Annette Soumilas now takes us behind the scenes and introduces us to the designer of the costume, Thelma Thomas. Thomas had an extraordinary talent for creating allegorical costumes that are as innovative today as they were when she conceived them.' (Sally Heath : Editorial introduction)
