The David Casavant Archive

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

The David Casavant Archive is a private clothing collection belonging to stylist David Casavant, based in New York City and founded in 2014. The Archive houses a substantial collection of vintage men's clothing, with a focus on pieces by designers such as Raf Simons and Helmut Lang. It primarily serves as a resource for editorial work, lending garments to celebrities, designers, and stylists. Notable clients have included Kanye West, Rihanna, Paul McCartney, Travis Scott, Lorde, Big Sean, Young Thug, Pharrell, Kendrick Lamar, and Kim Kardashian. For example, two vintage Helmut Lang denim jackets from the Archive were featured in the music video for the song 'FourFiveSeconds' by Rihanna, West, and McCartney.[1] [2][3] [4] [5][6] [7]
