Muriel Alice Pemberton RWS (8 September 1909 – 30 July 1993)〔 was a British fashion designer, painter and academic. According to ''The Independent'', she "invented art-school training in fashion in Britain". ==Early life== Muriel Alice Pemberton was born in Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent, on 8 September 1909,〔 or 8 September 1910. She was the daughter of Thomas Henry Pemberton, was a skilled amateur painter as well as a photographic innovator, inventing a one-camera stereoscopic process. Her mother, Alice Pemberton, née Smith, retired from a career as a professional singer upon marriage, and she was also a gifted designer and needlewoman.〔 At the age of fifteen, she was the youngest student at the local Burslem School of Art.〔 In 1928, she obtained a scholarship as well as a major award to attend the School of Painting at London's Royal College of Art. In 1931, she was awarded the RCA's first ever Diploma in Fashion.〔 Pemberton persuaded the head of the school of design, Professor Ernest William Tristram, to introduce such a course, and he asked her to draft the curriculum.〔 According to the ''ODNB'', She proposed a combination of direct contact, sketching, and analysing with an actual couturier, learning the basic skills of cutting and sewing with a professional, and supplementing this with academic studies in the history of fashion and design at museums such as the Victoria and Albert.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Muriel Pemberton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
