About

Dead Rich Husband is a curated shop of rare designer vintage. It pairs historical research with a selection of archival garments available for purchase. Dead Rich Husband deep-dives into forgotten moments in fashion history on Substack.

Dead Rich Husband documents the details that tend to disappear from mainstream fashion histories. It spills the industry gossip that circulates among those who have spent decades working in fashion.

Dead Rich Husband is produced by an independent writer and archivist based in London, with professional experience working with large-scale fashion archives. It is also informed by over a decade of selling designer vintage - at London’s Portobello Market and online - grounding the research in first-hand knowledge of how garments circulate and accumulate cultural value.
