Once a dyer and cleaner, Yves Guinhuit has always been enthralled by the history of old textiles. He now heads up Antikcostume - it is primarily in the making of Napoleonic costumes and uniforms that Yves and his team have forged themselves a reputation with re-enactment groups, museums and collectors. For the bicentenary re-enactment of the Battle of the Waterloo in June 2015 (400,000 spectators), they made the costumes for Napoleon and practically all his general staff. To create the costumes for the concert, Yves scrutinised specialist publications looking for information, illustrations, articles and regulations of the era to ensure the costumes.
