CHAP Winter 2018

Description

CHAP Winter 2018 finally caught up, after many years’ hunting, with the actor John Malkovich, who was playing Hercule Poirot in a BBC adaptation of The ABC Murders. We also met a man who had crossed the Alps on a Space Hopper, Nicholas Parsons and Dutch menswear designer Amide Hadelin. Actuarius recounted his attempt to replicate a race across France against the Blue Train by car from Cannes to London, Olivia Bullock revived Soviet youth tribe the Stilyagi, Robert Lloyd Parry told the dark tale behind M.R. James’s O Whistle and I’ll Come to You, Mr. B the Gentleman Rhymer shared his Chap Hop diary while on tour with Sparks in Europe, Cordings provided some of their sharp tweeds and corduroys for a photo shoot around the store on Piccadilly, and Gustav Temple was invited to inspect some of Edward VIII’s original outfits in Hampton Court Palace.
