We are beyond thrilled to announce that the amazing Marion Boyce will be joining us at Miss Fisher Con in St. Paul, Minnesota!
Marion designed the costumes for all three seasons of the original Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries TV show, and her genius at historical style and attention to detail were instrumental in igniting the fans’ passionate love of the show.
With designs that incorporated vintage pieces, hand-built millinery, and a distinct “look” for each character, Marion won an AACTA Award for Best Costume Design in a Television Series for series 2 and she was nominated again for series 3. Read about all of her accomplishments on our website, and get excited!
And if her professional credentials aren’t enough, she’s also amazingly kind and welcoming - she opened her Melbourne studio to more than 30 Miss Fisher Fans in early 2020 for a tour and tea. Those who attended were able to get up close and personal with many of Phryne’s things, including the black satin fighting cocks kimono and the break-in beret. Iconic!
We are so looking forward to to chatting with Marion, and we hope you are too.

Saints & Sinners: St Paul’s Gangster Past
Starting in the early 1900s and lasting into the ‘30s an unofficial contract between St. Paul Chief of Police John O’Connor and criminals turned the city of St. Paul into a “crook’s haven.”. Gangsters stopping in the city agreed to check in with police, commit no crimes within city limits, and pay a bribe in exchange for safe harbor.
Bootleggers, gangsters, and bank robbers from all over the Midwest ran their operations from St. Paul. Famous gangsters such as John Dillinger and Ma Barker used the city and surrounding suburbs as a hideout.
Learn about the Layover Agreement (aka the O’Connor System) and its role in the rise of organized crime. The speakers will introduce key players, including notable women, categories of crimes committed, and places of significance—including the St. Paul Hotel and Wabasha Street Caves.
