EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we see a remarkable transformation taking place. Labourer Alan Howse, known for his tireless work with pick and shovel, has set aside his tools and embraced the delicate art of sewing. Standing out as the only man in a class full of girls at Edinburgh's esteemed sewing school on Howe Street, Alan has become an unexpected star. Captured in the nostalgic era of the 1970s, this image reflects the changing times and breaking gender stereotypes. With utmost concentration etched on his face, Alan skillfully threads a needle to create something extraordinary - a jacket that will not only showcase his newfound talent but also serve as a frugal solution to save money. This photograph encapsulates both determination and adaptability as it portrays one young man's journey into uncharted territory. The juxtaposition of manual labor and intricate tailoring highlights Alan's versatility and willingness to explore new horizons. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints, this snapshot from the 20th century reminds us that true craftsmanship knows no boundaries or limitations. It serves as an inspiration for all those who dare to defy societal norms and pursue their passions against all odds.
