The Suit by Christopher Breward Pdf

Be as in love with your jeans, sweatpants, or flannels as you want, it’s hard to refute the sumptuous feel of a finely tailored suit—as well as the statement of power that comes with it. For over a century the suit has dominated wardrobes, its simple form making it the go-to attire for boardrooms, churches, or cocktail bars—anywhere one wants to make an impression. But this ubiquity has allowed us to take the suit’s history for granted, and its complex construction, symbolic power, and many shifting meanings have been lost to all but the most devout sartorialists. In The Suit, Christopher Breward unstitches the story of our most familiar garment. He shows how its emergence at the end of the seventeenth century reflects important political rivalries and the rise of modern democratic society. He follows the development of technologies in the textile industry and shows how they converge on the suit as an ideal template of modern fashion, which he follows across the globe—to South and East Asia especially—where the suit became an icon of Western civilization. The quintessential emblem of conformity and the status quo, the suit ironically became, as Breward unveils, the perfect vehicle for artists, musicians, and social revolutionaries to symbolically undermine hegemonic culture, twisting and tearing the suit into political statements. Looking at the suit’s adoption by women, Breward goes on to discuss the ways it signals and engages gender. He closes by looking at the suit’s apparent decline—woe the tyranny of business casual!—and questioning its survival in the twenty-first century. Beautifully illustrated and written with the authority a Zegna or Armani itself commands, The Suit offers new perspectives on this familiar—yet special—garment.

Italian Tailoring by Anonim Pdf

Men's tailoring in Italy is a veritable art tradition, the product of a long legacy of elegance, taste and appreciation. In fact, made-to-measure garments and shoes entail painstaking measuring and a transformation of these measurements into a perfect object, thanks to the skilled craftsmanship of tailors and the use of refined textiles. For those who know how and where to look, each garment speaks to the secrets and history of the place where it was made and customized. Italian Tailoring offers an insider's view into the world of Italian tailoring and its key protagonists. Journalist Yoshimi Hasegawa, an expert in European tailoring, presents an extraordinarily stylish travelogue, surveying tailoring across the country. Beginning at the beginning--with the famed Vitale Barberis Canonico fabric mill--this publication profiles 28 historic tailor shops in Italy and the famed names behind them (from Donnadio to Musella; Liverano & Liverano to Sartoria Napoletana; Rubinacci and Attolini to Caraceni, Ciardi and Pirozzi). Italian Tailoring leads the reader on a journey through Italy, from north to south, in search of the haute tailoring and the practitioners who have shaped the world-famous Italian style.

Spoken for - the Art and Glory of Bespoke by Ravi Daswani Pdf

"First impressions are long in being dismissed. People judge you - regardless of any misperception - by the way you are dressed." Ravi the Tailor. Undertaking the task of opening the eyes of the public to the art of tailoring was a labor of love. As with any artistic endeavor, there must be a sense of the holy, inspired by the imagination, and witnessed through the mind's eye. Craftsmen have been around since the beginning of man's existence, which by necessity created useful objects and by evolution, made those useful objects beautiful. With the advent of clothing, the necessity naturally came first and as man became more evolved both spiritually and intellectually, his craft was honed to match his wit and ability. As time wore on, perfection was met with technology, and remarkable feats of engineering were achieved in fit, no small task considering the myriad of shapes and sizes into which the human body develops. Technology also improved the nature of the cloth used in tailored garments, making them softer, more comfortable to wear and easier to work with. They could be made more durable if necessary or delicate and fine, as one's economics and status allowed. So, it is with great pride and pleasure that you are introduced to the fine art and science behind classic custom tailoring, formally known as bespoke. You'll be taken on this journey by one of the finest and most experienced cutters in the world, Ravi Daswani. You'll go behind the scenes of bespoke, with all of its glorious and various histories and traditions, its proud and noble craftspeople, who, in the wake of modernity, continue to present to their public, works of mastery embedded deep in a philosophy of emotional connectedness to both the craft and the wearer.
