CEO and founder Gill Linton, chatting about her influences above, told BoF: “When you look back at some of the most seminal subcultures in history, how people dressed played an important role in shaping identity, attitudes and beliefs. You only have to look at mods, punks, skinheads or new romantics.” Byronesque also features an editorial section looking to highlight such radicals, with exclusives from visionaries such as Rad Hourani, John Galliano, and more. Hear the rest of the Byronesque team chat about their influences here and here.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
Attention, vintage lovers! There’s a new resource for you, and it’s available online, 24/7. Byronesque is seeking to do for the vintage market what Farfetch has done for retailing online – partnering with vendors the world over to bring the finest stock of archive-worthy accessories and apparel from days past right to your doorstep. Byronesque founder Gill Linton brings a dark and subversive aesthetic to her curation, and all handpicked pieces are truly vintage – meaning 20 or more years old.
If you were as sad as I was when The New World Order shut it’s doors in 2010 then you might be delighted to hear owner Renee Bejil has exclusively his listed vast archive with Byronesque in addition to joining the team as head of merchandise. Other retailers include London’s One Of A Kind, and Paris’ Quidam de Revel. Look out for a subscription based, back room section later this year offering stylists, designers and other creatives the chance to check out top secret archives online.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
i agree4
