David M. Skoudy (b.1993) is a Spanish book collector and tailer. He studied pattern making and art direction at his father's fashion brand in Barcelona. In 2021, Skoudy and his partner Tea Sirbiladze founded Paris Image Unlimited, where they work in art direction, research, and curation.

スペイン・バルセロナを拠点とするブック・キュレーションデュオ Paris Image Unlimited のデイヴィット・スコーディ (1993年スペイン・バルセロナ生まれ) は本作のテーマでもある「オルタナティヴメンズウェア」を長年追い求めてきた。彼の個人的なアーカイヴより選ばれたモノクロ写真100 点がヒエラルキーなく登場する。

「選んだ写真に共通しているのは、有名無名にかかわらず、日常的な場所で日常的なシチュエーションで自然な格好をしている人たちが、自発的に (時に無意識に) スタイリッシュであるということです。」

ポートレート、セルフポートレート、ストリート写真、スナップ写真、パパラッチ、ルックブックなどをボーダーレスかつ現代的なアプローチで編集したイメージの連なりは、鑑賞者に連想的なものの見方を提案している。 作家クリストファー・アンドリュースによる序文が添えられている。
