LULU DO YOU PARLEZ VOUS

Few voices in fashion today carry the weight of Alexander Fury — his work as a journalist, critic, and author respected for its precision and insight. Known for his sharp wit and ability to place fashion within the broader context of cultural and artistic movements, Fury has contributed to some of the world’s leading publications, including AnOther Magazine, The Financial Times, The Independent, and T: The New York Times Style Magazine.

Beyond his writing, Fury is also a passionate archivist, amassing a personal collection of over 3,000 pieces spanning the work of iconic designers such as John Galliano, Miuccia Prada, Vivienne Westwood, and Tom Ford. His fascination with fashion began at the age of 13, when he started collecting pieces as a teenager in northern England. Today, his archive is internationally recognized, with select works featured in prominent exhibitions, including at the Barbican, and in publications like Display Copy, where Lulu Tenney brings his archival gems to life on the streets of Paris.
