Hi. The amazing (if I say so myself) jackets Chris and I wore at the start of the Electric show in Mexico on Friday were made by our regular costume designer and wardrobe coordinator, Jeffrey Bryant. Neil x

What a fantastic audience tonight at the Cumbre Tajin festival in Mexico for the first “Electric” festival performance. A great way to start a tour! It’s still “work in progress” but it felt pretty exciting. Muchas Graçias, Mexico! Neil x

Very much enjoyed walking round the David Bowie exhibition at the V&A in London this morning. He has been such an inspiration and the show reminds us why and how. Neil x

Penguin Books have just published 12 books, each celebrating a different underground railway line in London to commemorate the Tube’s 150^th 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
