HUNTSMAN , SAVILE ROW
the suit ) to a boy who has inherited a hefty cash flow and inturn a boyish and casual style . Tom Ford states ; ‘[ Menswear ] is a detail-driven business . It really is about the fabrics , or the make , or the buttonholes , or the lapels . At the designer level , it is a very , very different business than women ’ s .’ Menswear is so refined , the lapel will abide to the wearers wish , the fabric will have the correct amount of cashmere in and the jacket needs to consider how many buttons will show . A peaked lapel to finish of the bow tie with tuxedo for the evening , and a classic lapel for the day time business dress , the lining in the jacket which can provide individuality without the obvious implications ; consisting of a cleverly placed pattern or label in the lining , this is something that tailor William Hunt abides too , a flamboyant and individual lining which discreetly notes the exclusive component . Its the small things that will essentially create the look of a man . A reference to a historic trend in the 60 ’ s is the Mods who centred around rebellion , but equally these males were of the lower class demographic . An evident trend of this subculture was the shortened trouser hem to show the ankle , perhaps this was a purposeful feature but this was presumably something caused by lack of funds for properly fitting trousers , and allas , a shortened hem to show the ankle or the patterned sock is now completely on trend and modernistic ; a favourite amongst the younger business men who circuit the high-rise buildings in Canary Wharf ., each trying implement something to forth come their youth and a new approach to not only business but to fashion , while the older professionals are in-keeping with the classically fitted three piece suit , suggesting the same approach to business . The suit is an evolving fashion , it can provide a male with their chosen persona , whether it be a classic gentleman to a youthful mogul . What is the new gentleman ’ s aesthetic ? It ’ s an aesthetic that exudes individualism , tailoring and refined details .
