HISTORY
LESSON he iconic style bible, Vogue celebrates its
T
centenary this year. As part of the celebrations the National Portrait Gallery in London is hosting Vogue 100: A Century of Style.
Godfather of Savile Row Receives Royal Approval
A
ngus Cundey, Chairman of Henry Poole & Co, was awarded an MBE for services to bespoke tailoring and trade charities
in the New Year’s Honours List. Not only has this revered tailor played an active role in the Bespoke Tailors Benevolent Association, a charity which supports tailors in financial need, but he is also a founder member of Savile Row Bespoke. This association focuses on ensuring the tailoring houses on the Row work together to protect pure bespoke tailoring, a craft which has been practiced in this unique part of London for over two centuries. Although Angus has worked on Savile Row for 58 years, his
career began a little further afield, in Paris. He was taught to sew at Lanvin in 1955, before continuing his training at the Tailor and Cutter Academy in London. He then joined the family firm, Henry Poole & Co in 1957, becoming the sixth generation of the family to work in the firm. Although today Mr Cundey is officially semi-retired, he can still be regularly seen working at 15 Savile Row! Q

Written by the Sock Club – yes there is such an organisation – this little publication guarantees to keep your feet correctly covered. No socks is not an option! Q
The exhibition, which runs from now until 22 May, showcases the remarkable range of photography that has been commissioned by British Vogue since it was founded in 1916. With more than 280 prints from the Condé Nast archive and international collections being shown together for the first time, this striking exhibition tells the story of one of the most influential fashion magazines in the world, and how fashions and perceptions change with each generation.
