Part three of my series for @permanentstylelondon is now live — this time less about cities and more about living with the clothes themselves.
After years of commissioning in Florence, I wanted to write about what happens when bespoke stops feeling precious, when patterns settle, and when a wardrobe starts to reflect a life rather than an ambition.
Grateful to have worked with some extraordinary tailors along the way.
Last week, my first article for @permanentstylelondon went live — an attempt to understand Italian tailoring through place, culture, and lived experience.
Today, we learned of the passing of Mariano Rubinacci, one of the figures who helped define Naples as a tailoring city in the first place.
It feels like a reminder of why these traditions matter: not as fixed ideas, but as things carried forward by people, hand to hand, generation to generation.
