Penguin Books have just published 12 books, each celebrating a different underground railway line in London to commemorate the Tube’s 150th anniversary. The volume celebrating the East London Line is called “Buttoned-Up” and was produced by the editors of Fantastic Man magazine and includes an interview with me. “Here they chart the history of the button-up shirt and explore why it’s so central to contemporary London’s fashion, design and people. With star contributors, fashion shoots and singular writing, this is a fashion magazine in a book.” Apparently that’s an East London thing! Neil x
