Beyond the White Gloves


Although I have rarely known archivists to sit on the cutting edge of fashion, we are apparently the inspiration for John Smedley Fall/Winter collection. A couple of quotes from the catalogue:

"The menswear personality for autumn 2010 is the archivist. A collector and lover of found objects, he treasures special things and the knitwear and clothing he chooses are part of his lifestyle. The texture, colour and feel of the fabrics are all-important to him, with attention to detail being the feature he enjoys."

"The striking men’s images are captured by Jamie Rowan and styled by Karen Russell, the two combining to give direction to the look and feel of the imagery and creating the perfect interpretation of the archivist. There is an English heritage feel, with a modern-dressed man."

If only archivists could afford this fine knitwear.... Download the full catalogue with stunning (and I mean stunning) photography here
