Charity shop clothes stun at Elgin Museum fashion shoot

PHOTOGRAPHER Mark Smith rummaged through charity shops for his recent photo shoot at Elgin Museum.

The snapper chose the Moray institution as his backdrop after being impressed with its history and architecture.

Elgin Museum was founded in 1843 and is billed as Scotland’s oldest independent museum.

“The clothing we used was from three branches of national charity shops based in Elgin,” explained Smith, who runs Scotland Icon.

“This seemed like a good idea seeing as folks’ views on fashion and environment seem to be changing, rapidly bringing the reuse-recycle mantra to the forefront.”
