(photo attached) Fortune Favours the Brave is the story of an Australian entrepreneur with fashion in his DNA. Carl Dowd's grandparents started the family clothing business in the 1920s, making corsets and girdles from their small factory in Melbourne's northern suburbs. By the time Carl joined the business three decades later, Dowd Associates had licensed the Hickory brand in Australia and grown to become the most successful intimate apparel company in Australia. Through hard work and a willingness to take risks, Carl went on to establish his own successful clothing ventures, eventually earning the moniker, 'Melbourne's fashion king'. In his candid memoir, Carl Dowd shares ripping yarns about his ancestors, and what happens when you mix a spirit of adventure with a healthy dose of irreverence and the courage to pursue challenging opportunities in business and life. 301pp.
