In 1962 Brooker joined Kingston College of Art (in 1970, it merged with Kingston College of Technology in 1970 to create Kingston Polytechnic) as a lecturer, becoming head of fashion in 1963, and a professor in 1981. When she retired in 1992, the fashion department was "one of the most successful of its kind — in securing jobs for its graduates in the competitive world of design and in having paved the way for how fashion courses were subsequently taught."

On 21 July 1948, at Battersea Register Office, she married fellow RCA graduate, Maxwell Gervase Anderson Brooker (1927–2008), who was then a second lieutenant in the Royal Army Education Corps, and later became an artist and art teacher.

1941

She grew up and was educated in Kingston upon Thames in Surrey, her family having moved there when she was five years old. She went to Kingston School of Art from 1941 to 1945, followed by the Royal College of Art (RCA), where she received an ARCA diploma in design in 1948.

1927

Daphne Elizabeth Brooker (née Beacon, 8 June 1927 – 2 February 2012) was a British model, costume designer, and a professor and head of fashion at Kingston University for three decades, where she had "a leading role in the teaching of fashion".

She was born Daphne Elizabeth Beacon on 8 June 1927 at the Ormond Maternity Home, 29 Blantyre Street, Chelsea, London, the elder child and only daughter of Charles Beacon, a chauffeur, and his wife, Mabel Elizabeth Beacon, née Mann (1891–1972), who were living in Battersea at the time.
