This is surprisingly satisfying to watch.

it would take me way too long to learn how to do that

The first few pages of that bookcore thread before it got moved over to this side reminded me that I strongly dislike half of this website

Fun stuff from the first few (late 80s) issues of STREET Magazine (by Soichi Aoki the guy behind FRUiTS later on). Paris and London fashion weeks and streetstyle, from 1985 to 1990 chronologically

Best containers/boxes in which to store off-season clothes overhead? I have space constraints that make a chest at the foot of the bed a little cramped and I’d rather not stow under my bed.

Not a very pretty solution, but I once interviewed a textile conservator who works with museums to preserve valuable artifacts made from textiles. She recommended using Tupperware bins and said they're as good as museum boxes. She also recommended putting a cotton sheet or pillowcase over the top before snapping the lid down. The bugs that feast on animal hair are different from the ones that snack on plant-based fibers. So if you're storing something like a stash of wool sweaters in a bin, bugs will have to get through that first layer of protection first.

I got loads of these big ones

Look what I've found at IKEA

IKEA Search puts the extensive IKEA range at user’s fingertips.

Does the job but I'm sure tupperwear offer a better seal (and maybe sunlight protection)

They're great for stacking though, I'm literally surrounded by walls and towers of the stuff. Pretty sure I'll knock one over and die buried under it one day (aka live by the hoard die by the hoard)
