Tommy Nutter - Rebel on the Row

Tommy Nutter - the radical tailor of the 60's/70's has a retrospective exhibition at the Fashion and Textile museum, London. His clients included Cilla Black (her suit at top) and The Stones to name a few. Precisional tailoring using amazing fabrics made his designs a success and last the test of time - my favorites are the two white suits - one of which was worn by Jagger on his wedding day to Bianca. Love the huge lapels with the silk/satin details.

Go before it finishes on the 22nd October, 2011
