The Museum of London recently debuted1 Sherlock Holmes: The Man Who Never Lived and Will Never Die, a major exhibition devoted2 the fictional3 detective and the real city he inhabited.

夏洛克·福尔摩斯：从未存在 永远流传（Sherlock Holmes: The Man Who Never Lived and Will Never Die）——这是英国伦敦博物馆正在举行的首场大型福尔摩斯展的名称。

The items on display include a rare manuscript of Edgar Allan Poe's The Murders in Rue4 Morgue -- a key influence on Holmes's creator, Arthur Conan Doyle -- and a portrait of Conan Doyle never before seen in public. But alongside these one-of-a-kind historical treasures, visitors will find two curiously5 modern artifacts: the coat and dressing6 gown worn by Benedict Cumberbatch in Sherlock, the BBC's 21st-century reboot of the Holmes stories.

While these costumes are obvious bait for fanboys (and fangirls) who might not be clued into the Victorian literary sensation behind the modern-day television sensation, they also serve as a reminder7 that Holmes's fashion choices, from page to screen, have always launched real-world trends. In Conan Doyle's lifetime, Holmes's name and likeness8 were used to advertise pipes and shirts as well as tea, toffee, and mouthwash. More recently, Esquire, FHM, and GQ have advised readers on how to get the Sherlock look. The exhibition provides a retrospective of Sherlockian style, investigating how it has evolved while retaining its instantly recognizable Victorian fashion DNA9. The museum even commissioned a Scottish textile mill to create a signature tweed in Holmes's honor, and a concurrent10 show features fashion photographer Kasia Wozniak's prints made using a 1890 field camera.
