Flamingo Park Frock Salon in Strand Arcade, Sydney, was the fashion label and retail outlet established by the creative partnership of Australian artists and designers Jenny Kee and Linda Jackson.
[3] The Strand Arcade was home to a number of other fashion and beauty shops and Flamingo Park was seen as the 'go to' fashion store by many international visitors including David Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Rudolph Nureyev, Monty Python comic Eric Idle and Mick Jagger.
Other high-profile customers included Glenda Jackson, Susannah York, Cheech and Chong, Robert Hughes, Marcia Hines, Kate Fitzpatrick, Jacki Weaver and Alida Chase.
[4] Kee was recognised for her innovative designs in knitwear, although the actual hand knitting was carried out by Jan Ayres while Jackson mastered patchwork and applique techniques, favouring tafetta, crêpe de Chine, chiffon and georgette.
[5][6] The duo were adamant that they would maintain the quality of the fashions they produced, so prices consistently matched the amount of work that went into creating their unique designs, and there was no franchising or mass production.
