Palazzo Pitti – The Apartment of the Duchess of Aosta. The London Cut. Savile Row Bespoke Tailoring exhibition. The Mavericks – Edward Sexton. “Like Lennon and McCartney, Edward Sexton’s name is inextricably linked to the late Tommy Nutter. The shop this dynamic duo opened together on Saint Valentines day in 1969 – Nutters of Savile Row – revolutionized the Row.” James Sherwood writes in his book The London Cut. Savile Row Bespoke Tailoring (Fondazione pitti Discovery, Marsilio)."While Nutter was the face of the house, its skilled hands belonged to the master cutter Edward Sexton. Today Sexton’s style is a soft construction distinguished by a high-cut armhole and rope shoulder with a distinctive collar and lapel shape and finally a higher waist creating a taller slender silhouette."
Famous/infamous customers: John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Sir Paul and Linda McCartney, Ringo Starr, George Harrison, Mick Jagger, Bianca Jagger, Eric Clapton, the Duke of Bedford, Joan Collins, Bill Blass, Manolo Blahnik, Jack Nicholson, Jerry Zipkin.
