Source of many fine individually styled and tailored mackintoshes in
the 1970s was a firm called Trudimac, and courtesy of Trudi's partner
- and husband - specialist photographer Jo Warne we retain a great trove
of their images as they were published in Rainwear Review.
Rainwear Review was Jo Warne's celebration of the black rubber
mackintosh, with its severe glamour and its unrivalled power to enclose
and impose. It ran to 11 editions, terminating with the untimely death
of its founder, photographer and devoted editor in 1972.
Here we offer just some of the images which he gave us, in tribute to
him, and to his partner, and to the models through whose skill the black
rubber mackintosh presented itself to an utterly captivated audience.
