Charles LeDray’s highly anticipated Artangel commission MENS SUITS, which opened at an old Fire Station in London’s Marylebone in July, has been extended until 18 October. The project, comprising tableaux of diminutive hand-made men’s clothing – suits, shirts, ties, gloves – all different, and all intimately detailed, is a tour de force of meticulous craftsmanship and careful composition.
“Extraordinary.” The Observer
“Strikingly original, frankly unmissable.” The London Evening Standard
