Immediately replacing all professional work headshots with this photo of me, rampaging through a museum with an enormous fashion map. Thanks @luciewhitmore.bsky.social for capturing my joy.

Had a nice time looking at some lovely things in the Chanel exhibition at the V&A yesterday, but fundamentally it felt like an advert for a multinational brand. Deeply depressing to me that fashion history is hollowed out in this way - fund museums to tell better stories.

High-street staple Moss Bros was founded by Jewish second hand clothes dealer Moses Moses in 1881. Since then it’s helped thousands of customers negotiate the social dress codes required by British society events, including Hellmut Feisenberger, Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany, who wore this suit.
