To mark Darwin’s Fashion Week, we present these fashionistas from a bygone age . There is an extremely dubious claim that the stern-faced woman with the fancy gloves was Darwin’s first female motorcycle cop, serving under Sergeant Graham Rees , and also dressed up as the Fairy Godmother at the annual Policemen's Ball in Mitchell Street.The woman standing next to her in the drab dress is believed to have been an aunty out of work .
