Maybe it was an early exposure to labels like Kiton that spoiled me, but I am a SUCKER for beautiful construction. Its really what separates the wheat from the chaff. Wander around your favorite boutique or department store and spend a few moments looking at the special bits that constitute fine garment making. The hand top stitched lapel, the detail of the lining, the finishing of the seams. These are the things that I happily pay for, the hallmarks of the well made. Loro Piana, Isaia, Brunello Cucinelli, Luciano Barbera to name but a few, understand that a beautiful garment isn’t just about the fabric.
