Growing up during the 1980's, a period marked by the popularity of American vintage styles, has fuelled in Gunn a parallel interest in classic American cinema and vintage clothing. Over the years, Gunn has avidly collected vintage pieces and focused on showcasing the craftsmanship and durability of past garments. Gunn co-curates the Hong Kong Design Institute's (HKDI) upcoming exhibition, "The Fashion Union", which centres around workwear. Here, he tells us more about the exhibition and his views on the current trends in workwear and vintage fashion. 香港知專設計學院(HKDI)今年的「The Fashion Union」展覽將以工裝為主題,身兼是次展覽聯合策展人 的倫敦知名復古服裝店共同創辦人Douglas Gunn,與我 們分享展覽內容,以及對於工裝古著時尚的潮流趨勢的看 法。Douglas 認為,香港作為全球貿易樞紐,能有效傳遞 商品、資訊及創意,因此他希望透過展覽展示來自世界各 地的早期工裝及實用服飾的例子,講述當中的故事。
