Harris Tweed: From Land to Street ... by Lara Platman
BESPOKE
THE MEN'S STYLE OF SAVILE ROW
by JAMES SHERWOOD
Those of us who share an affection for London tailoring will
derive an immense amount of pleasure from Bespoke.
James Sherwood - not to be confused with the owner of The
Orient Express, who shares both his name and his city - has written an elegant
history of Savile Row, centred on 26 firms, no less - Anderson & Sheppard,
Gieves & Hawkes and Henry Poole among them.
With a chapter devoted to each; rich infusions of gossip and
anecdote; and celebrity snapshots galore, this highly elegant tome is very well
suited to its subject.
Fashion at its finest: classic in cut, timeless in taste,
and every piece a one-off.
