Pieces are now available to buy in store at Alexander (by) 66 Greene Street, SoHo New York and online at link in bio. Focusing primarily on the work of conceptual menswear designers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the archives contain several thousand pieces that have been collected over the span of one decade and offer the world’s most comprehensive scope of garments by Austrian design
er Helmut Lang, and Belgian designer Raf Simons. Similar, albeit smaller, collections of these artists’ works are housed in museums across the world, most notably at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and the Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna. The David Casavant Archive is distinguished from such institutions because it actively loans its pieces to carefully selected individuals who are among the most culturally significant people of the modern era. Most notably, artists such as Paul McCartney, Kanye West, Rihanna, Big Sean, Alicia Keys, Vic Mensa and Lorde have loaned from the Archive. Pieces have appeared in publications such as Vogue Italia, LOVE, GQ Style, i-D, V, Dazed, Interview, AnOther Man, Man About Town, CR Fashion Book and Hero having been styled by editors such as Carine Roitfeld, Katie Grand, Karl Templer, Marie-Amelie Sauve, Olivier Rizzo, Marie Chaix, Alister Mackie, Beat Bolliger and Robbie Spencer.
