“A trifle extreme maybe but what is too much today, won’t be enough tomorrow. After all, anything worth doing is worth overdoing, and nothing exceeds like excess.”

I consult this book every morning before I go to work. Modern Fashions by David Buchan, 1979, for the Glenbow Museum in Calgary. To showcase his wardrobe art, David Buchan created these pieces based on Esquire magazine ads from the ’60s. They were also enlarged and used as photo-murals in the exhibition. And here’s a selected timeline of his work.
