A mature search for style. Fashion and menswear for all men.

Everest - inspiration from vintage images

Saturday, 2 February 2013

These images are from a poorly-printed book of photos of the 1952 Everest expedition. The colour is poor quality, but attractive. The mix of faded tones, bright blues, string vests (remember those?) and army surplus clothing convey a powerful period feel. Spot the climber wearing two wristwatches.

What's this got to do with style and fashion? Everything.
