Suits you, sir! Changing fashions.
The story of men's tailoring over the past 200 years, told through the lives of the men who commissioned, created and wore it. Tailors, shirtmakers, hatters and other craftspeople in London, especially around Savile Row & Jermyn Street, have shaped the way men dress since the Regency. This lecture also looks at the wider cultural shifts since the early 19th century to the present day and how they affected the way that men present themselves.
February is the Donation Lecture, supporting our Young Arts Projects.
