What We Wore and Sketchfab

Abstract

http://what-we-wore.com/ Maintained by photographer and curator Nina Manandhar, What We Wore describes itself as ‘a people’s style history of Britain’. I first encountered it on Tumblr, but in the past five years the project has spread to other social media platforms, spawned a coffee table book, exhibitions and workshops and given rise to spin-off devoted to the sartorial history of London’s seedily bohemian Soho. In a sense, its appeal is straightforward: other people’s photo albums always contain marvels, and the stories and images collected here are often fantastically evocative. https://sketchfab.com/moving_past_present This link leads to a profile page on Sketchfab, a database of 3D models and animation files. The files hosted there are the result of a collaboration between artist Janina Lange and King’s College London’s Strandlines project.
