You've worn that before! - With Professor Andrew Groves (#63)

Andrew Groves is Professor of Fashion Design at the University of Westminster, London and curator of their menswear archive. He pops by to talk about moving to London as a young man, working with Alexander McQueen, being a  student while working in a sex shop, moving into academia as a lecturer, the one-upmanship of terrace culture,  why bad taste needs to be collected and shopping for the Menswear Archive with a sack full of cash. Oh, and some more ideas on what makes a cherished garment!
