Back when Oi Polloi had its shop at 63 Thomas Street in Manchester, we ran a competition asking people to take a photograph in the shop and post it on Instagram or Twitter using #63ThomasStreet. The prize was £100.
Lauren here won. Posing in the shop in a green floral shirt, pink trousers and burgundy boots, she clearly made an impression on the judging panel.
And who was on this judging panel? Claude, our resident French bulldog. This was long before Claude the AI assistant came along, so we're talking about an actual four-legged member of the Oi Polloi team.
Why did he choose Lauren? Well, the rationale for his judgement was: “I like girls wearing Engineered Garments. It’s good”.
From the Oi Polloi archives: this competition has long since ended, and our original Manchester shop at 63 Thomas Street is no longer open.
