Nicole AllenNicole Allen graduated with a BS in fashion design - a formal manifestation of what is her lifelong obsession with clothing. She has been involved with various medieval reenactment and communities for over fifteen years. She founded and runs Revival lothing, a company that provides authentic period fashion primarily to reenactors, and Historica Clothiers, a modern fashion line inspired by historic fashion of all periods. Gregory Mele was a medieval reenactor for 15 years, until turning his attention in 1999 to focus on the research and reconstruction of Historical European Martial Arts, for which he is internationally known. From 2003 to 2009 he wrote a periodic column for Revival Clothing entitled From the Pen of History, which gave historical context to the company's clothing lines. In 2014 he returned to the hobby of living history by joining La Compagnia della Rosa nel Sole, a small society which focuses on the experience of an Italo-English mercenary company of the late 14th century.
