Theatre de la Mode
Theatre de la Mode launched in AW07 with their accidental first collection, the mini-mannequins, with perfectly-to-scale costumes. Designer Chris, initially planned on working for other labels before launching his own, but the mini-mannequins snowballed and they grew and grew in popularity.

LeRoy Grannis: Surf Photography of the 1960s and 1970s
In 1930s America, with an economy in wretched decline and drought ravaging the heartland, a young boy from Hermosa Beach California decided to fashion a bellyboard out of a piece of wood and teach himself how to surf. This boy was LeRoy Grannis, who, decades later, would become one of the surfing industry’s best loved figures and perhaps the most important photographer and documentarian of surf culture ever to look through a lens.
This August Taschen are publishing LeRoy Grannis: Surf Photography of the 1960s and 1970s, a beautiful hardcover retrospectivebook chronicling this golden era of surfing and presenting a huge collection of images from the photographer’s personal archives; from perfect barrels at San Onofre to dramatic wipeouts at Oahu’s famed North Shore.
LeRoy ‘Granny’ Grannis turns 93 this Thursday.
