The Perfect Suit!

My friend John recently sent me a link of a very interesting documentary looking into the evolution of the gentleman's suit.
'For many 'the suit' is synonymous with all that is dull. But tailor Charlie Allen, Top Man chief designer Gordon Richardson and Sir Paul Smith show Alastair that the suit can be a cutting-edge fashion item and 'armour' to face the world.' - Taken form the description of the documentary, definitely worthwhile to watch if your interested in that sort of thing.


Here is Part 1 of the documentary, the rest are now on youtube!




An example of a great contemporary suit designer in my opinion is Ozwald Boateng. His suits have been worn by the likes of Will Smith to Pierce Brosnan, from David Bowie to Sir Richard Branson. His style is very vibrant and edgy with clean-cut structure.
