    I ran across a quote that she had designed paper raincoats in 1966 (plastic laminated of course...) and was wondering if anyone had any further info about her...

    THanks... I am sure she must have been known in her time. I found out she was still in business in the 1970s.. so she was around for at least a decade.

    Still trying jonathan, I can't beleive I can't find anything on her. I found one reference to her ( probably the same thing you found) with regards to a professor at a London college who worked under her in the 70's. I will keep looking.

    Thanks Melanie for the update - boy this is a 12 year old question!!! I ran across something a few years back that had her in Canada in the late 1960s - it was in connection with her things being sold through a Montreal boutique, and also something about her designing plastic coats for a Canadian company - I will have to look for those references again.

    PS: I think there was something about her selling through Paraphernalia in New York as well...

    Veronica Marsh was friend of mine. Sadly dies of cancer in about 1990. I knew her through her architect husband (also deceased in 1988) Peter. We met in Dubai and Pakistan in the 70's where she was designing original carpets using old hand knotted techniques. She remarried and lived in Dorset.
