Hansen

Hansen is a Swedish label specialising in traditional woven menswear. It isn't the clothes that made me write this,
they are lovely and obviously very well made but just not my thing. The thing I love is that they have used this lovely
older man as the main model. I have not every really given the age of models much thought but now I think about it, it
kind of bothers me. Personally older people influence me in a huge way. More so older men, leather loafers, smart shirts,
tweed jackets, groomed hair, cardigans.....I could go on and on. Aside from that my favourite places to shop are vintage
shops which are filled with old peoples clothes. Filled with history. I wouldn't want to exclusively see old people in
fashion campaigns but a little mixture would be really nice. I wouldn't have looked twice at this particular shoot if the
older man wasn't in it.
