[Photographs of The Armoury by Marino Thorlacius]

The unstoppable Sruli Recht (Dumbo feather Issue 13) has just opened a store called The Armoury amongst the retrofitted, once-rusting ships and abandoned private fisheries of Reykjavik’s Fishpacking District (in Iceland). The store will showcase Sruli’s incredible clothing, footwear and ‘non-products’ like the Umbuster and Whalet as well as “the illustrated topo-graphic narratives of Megan Herbert” (we put that in quote marks because we’re not sure exactly what it means either!).

Everything used in putting The Armoury together was reclaimed from the now abandoned construction sites around Reykjavík – from the dried and weather-worn shipping palettes to the long wood scaffolding, old metal frames, steps and wheeled bases. We think it looks amazing, but would expect nothing less from Mr Recht.

Sruli Recht: is a fashion and costume designer who has most recently dipped his toes into footwear design. Schooled in Melbourne, recently inducted into the New York-based Keystone Design Union and currently domiciled in Iceland, he’s one talented, and ever-so-delightful gent. We have no doubt he’ll have a part to play in the next suit-&-tie.
