Event Details
As the capital gets ready to celebrate mens fashion with London Collections: Men in June , the Museum of London rips open the suit with the first of many events and exhibitions designed to unpick the history of London’s menswear. The Anatomy of a Suit traces the secret, technical genius beneath the suit’s surface and lays bare London’s influence on global menswear.
Fashion curator Timothy Lang says of his inspiration for the display: “Previous research into the suit has at times overlooked the fact that it is a feat of engineering, with the ability to transform the body. Since the secrets of the suit are hidden on the inside, it’s easy to see why. It’s only through deconstructing the suit jacket and turning it inside out that we can bring its technical genius to the fore.”
