Welcome to my new website, it’s still a work in progress! Bear with me 🙂Â
My priority to to showcase stock for sale but I’ll be showing and writing about pieces from my archive, found during several decades of hunting and gathering. I’ll share the stories and provenance of the pieces where known, with fashion history contexts.
I want to also share my musings on fashion, art and any area of creativity I’ve been inspired by or found on my travels, be it music, art, fashion or just life. It might be stories, artefacts and ephemera from growing up and working in London in the 60s, 70s and 80s (in music, theatre, music videos and film), travelling and working in NYC and the USA in the 80s, living and working in Rome in the early 90s or from 9 creative years at MTV UK’s On Air branding from the mid 90s to early 00s…plus 12 years of my London shop, it was amazing who I met through through my doors.
Or back in time with curiousities, skills and stories learnt from parents and grandparents who were very much Londoners, their parents arriving in London as immigrants in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
I wanted to be an anthropologist (orJaques Cousteau…and then Patti Smith) when I was younger so I guess the hunting and gathering passion slightly ticks the athropology box….
