In the 1980s Gyles Brandreth, co-founder of the Teddy Bear Museum, was working on a number of television programmes and had become known for wearing colourful jumpers designed by George Hostler, knitwear designer and lecturer in design at De Montfort University. George's exclusive designs were popular with a number of people, including Sir Elton John and the late Diana, Princess of Wales.

This jumper was worn on a number of occasions by Gyles including the opening of the museum and for the photograph in the front of this catalogue and the museum's official guide.
