7L founder Jamie Lundy, Creative director Mike Meikleham and podcast host Nige Wingman Clucas continue their chat with Professor Andrew Groves.

They discuss The Westminster Archive.

The Westminster Menswear Archive was founded to establish and maintain a collection of garments and related artefacts to encourage and develop the study of menswear design from a technical and functional point of view; to advance the general knowledge of menswear as a design discipline, and to serve as a resource tool to inform contemporary menswear design.

The archive will strive to inform, encourage and inspire a diverse range of students, industry professionals, researchers and other users in order to support their creativity, learning and research in fashion and related fields. It will also highlight the importance and relevance of the Westminster Menswear Archive within contemporary fashion, fashion education, research and scholarship and fashion practice, as well as with the general public.

The Westminster Menswear Archive has examples of some of the most important and exciting menswear garments covering the last 100 years.
