EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled 'Suitable Suit', captured by Howell Evans in November 1959, we are transported to the rainy streets of London. A city gent, seemingly lost in thought or perhaps distracted by the downpour, walks with a purposeful stride while clutching an umbrella that remains forgotten. The contrast between his elegant suit and the natural world's rain-soaked environment creates a striking visual juxtaposition. The composition is framed perfectly within a square format, emphasizing the symmetry and balance of the scene. Both male and female figures can be seen in the background, adding depth to this snapshot of urban life. The timeless fashion choices showcased here - from bowler hats to tailored suits - reflect an era when style was paramount even amidst inclement weather. Evans' keen eye for detail captures not only the physicality of rain falling on London's streets but also evokes a sense of atmosphere and mood. This archival photograph transports us back to a time when umbrellas were essential accessories for navigating through unpredictable British weather. 'Suitable Suit' serves as both an artistic representation of mid-century fashion trends and a reminder that sometimes even city gents can get caught up in their own thoughts amid nature's elements.
