Collector Spotlight: Michelle Meyer-Masterson | Paddle8

The founder of London archive ElegantlyPapered on the subversive power of fashion and building the world's largest collection of vintage fashion magazines.

Paddle8 recently visited our magazine archive for an interview and photo shoot which has been published on their Collector Spotlight this week.  It was sooo much fun sharing our story and collection - and the magazines enjoyed their time out of their archive boxes!
