“A small but quality turnout,” is how Kiama Icons and Artists' Linda Birchall described the recent Orry-Kelly drinks event at the Sebel.

Held on 1 December, the event drew members of the Kiama community interested in supporting Kiama Icons and Artists as they plan a major celebration of Kiama-born, Hollywood fashion designer Orry-Kelly.
