In the world of fashion, what's old is often new again.

Jonathan Walford says that over the years, fashion has become more inclusive, paving the way for us to be more nostalgic.

Jonathan has been collecting clothes from an early age; his collection now counts over 10,000 pieces.

Visitors can now take in his personal relics from decades and centuries past at the Fashion History Museum in Cambridge, Ontario.
