We are delighted to return with our second edition of the Male Sale; an auction focussing on masculine fashions throughout the ages. This auction starts with modern wearables from Westwood, Tom Ford and Louis Vuitton. There are several interesting collections on offer, such as that of Tomoyasu Hotei (lots 12-20) - the Japanese rockstar perhaps best known outside of Japan for his contributions to the soundtrack of Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill. We are also delighted to have the second instalment of 'Parisian Sweet: The Jackariaeh Francis Collection' (lots 100-119) whose nineteen lots include several iterations of Jean Paul Gaultier's hybrid trouser-skirts as well as remarkable John Galliano designs. We are again offering items from the personal wardrobe of Ian Garlant (lots 52-54 and 120-130) who headed Hardy Amies in the 1990s. Here we have several special and finely tailored designs from the famed fashion house, and interesting ensembles from Japanese designers that Ian wore throughout his career.
The 1980s are well represented by familiar names such as Gaultier and Westwood, but also unusual and rare pieces from cult designers such as John Crancher, Christopher Nemeth, BodyMap and English Eccentrics who are quite rightly being celebrated at the Fashion and Textile Museum's current exhibition 'Outlaws: Fashion Renegades of 80s London'.
The 1960s and 70s were an extraordinary and dynamic time for men's fashion, as the monochrome suits that typified the early 20th century gave way to colourful and eccentric designs from small boutiques that put London on the map. Stand-out examples from Biba and Mr Freedom typify this radical change with wild tiger print faux-furs, glimmering sequins and groovy patterns.
The sale ends with antique fashions from the late 18th and 19th centuries that remind us of the elegance and quality of menswear throughout history.
