Please allow me introduce my new book, Nudism in a Cold Climate, which examines the history of British social nudism (or naturism), and especially its photographic image. Out on 14th November 2021! Press release below. cris.brighton.ac.uk/ws/portalfiles…

What. Have. I. Done. (Bought an Avon Lady’s entire stock from sometime in the 70s until around 2005 ish I think 🤦‍♀️)

Major conference for anyone interested in the development of photography and its institutions in Britain over the last 50 years.

Dr. Shaun Cole is an Associate Professor in Fashion at Winchester School of Art. His interest lies in sexuality and dressed appearance as his works examine the dressed male body and how sexual subjects are formed in terms of gender, class and ethnicity.

Based on this is Cole's presentation Constructing Gay Men’s Wardrobes in the 21st century, a result of interviews conducted between 2012-18 recording the fashion choices of #gaymen, the impact of regulatory #dresscodes on how they dress and how they place themselves in the world.

Catch Dr. Shaun Cole on 29th October at 14:00 UK time at The #CostumeSociety’s 2022 virtual conference Clothes Maketh the Man. Registration for the conference at eventbrite.co.uk/e/clothes-make… #fashion #fashionhistory #mensfashion #menswear #gayfashion #CosSoc2022

Wearing colours and being associated with ‘being out’ The bold, unpatterned impact of a solid coloured piece of clothing. #CosSoc22

Alternatively, the predominance of monochrome and black in their wardrobe. It can be considered as a safe and basic style, comfier and easier. But within black you can play with textures, cut or construction of the garment. #CosSoc22

Conforming to the traditional masculinity of clothing (trousers and button shirt) but exploring how to subvert the rules with layering patterns. #CosSoc22

The wardrobe of the gay man as a fluid and flexible entity. This paper situated the interviewees ‘gayness’ within the situations of their lives and the way they dress and choose their wardrobe. #CosSoc22

We're intrigued to see this portrait of Davy featuring in @mcrartgallery's Dandy Style exhibition, open now and running through May. manchesterartgallery.org/event/dandy-st… Humphry does look rather dapper here, if we do say so ourselves.

We cannot wait for the finale of our Manchester Study Day #DandyStyle #CosSoc22 to enjoy a sustainable costume-themed afternoon tea thanks to the @MetMUnch team and their leader and Costume Society UK Trustee @HalehMoravej

Fashion Museum objects on tour! We’re thrilled to have loaned several pieces of menswear to the fantastic #DandyStyle exhibition @mcrartgallery including a beautiful 1840s pale green woollen cloth frockcoat & a dazzling white wool and mohair embroidered coat by Versace from 2000
