Irwin Olaf - Troy Portrait from the Grief Series - 2007 🇳🇱
Erwin Olaf is a Dutch photographer known for his stylized portraiture. Like Gregory Crewdson, Olaf stages his large-scale images in a cinematic fashion with orchestrated sets and dramatic lighting. His practice often explores issues of historical and contemporary importance as seen in his Royal Blood series which depicts the deaths of royalty. Born Erwin Olaf Springveld on June 2, 1959 in Hilversum, Netherlands, the artist works between the worlds of both fine and commercial photography as well as photojournalism. He currently lives and works in Amsterdam, Netherlands. His work can be found in the collections of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the Ludwig Museum in Cologne, and the Centraal Museum in Utrecht, among others.

This site is an overview of mens nylon shirts from the 1960s and 1970s in the UK. It should provide you with an idea of the way this unique type of men’s shirt looked.
The blog has a brief history of nylon shirts including images of packaging and inserts etc; a section on types of nylon shirt, a focus on white nylon shirts and pastel nylon shirts and a section on mens nylon shirts in the office.
Nylon shirts, whether bri-nylon, Celon,
Enkalon or other brands were an exciting addition to menswear in the UK
from the late 50s to the end of the 70s. The only way you can buy nylon
shirts to wear today is through eBay or second-hand shops. However, they
still hold an important place as the most popular synthetic fibre
shirts for men, with a unique look and feel sadly missed by many who
wore them. Of course, they are also a fascinating piece of design and
technology history as nothing like them had been manufactured and
retailed before or since.... >>
