— Guest Curator
Liberty McAnena
Continuing our tradition of handing the reins of our Tumblr over to a guest curator for the first week of every month, we've invited fashion history and theory graduate Liberty McAnena to consider the theme nostalgia. From archive editorial imagery to poignant film stills and thematic photography, McAnena considers the interplay between past and future and questions whether fashion's pre-occupation with nostalgia is simply sentimental or ironic. Follow the curation from 1 to 7 June.
