The Broken Suit

by Henry Herbert on January 13, 2010

Broken Suit

Henry Herbert recently visited Pitti Immagine in Florence. It is an annual fair which bring together a collection of young designers, fabric suppliers, tailors and other fashion retailers. It is spread amongst the glorious Fortezza da Basso. We were as impressed as much by the locals, as by the exhibitors. We say the locals because they have mastered the art of the broken suit: allowing gentlemen, who get it right, to blend together a jacket, short and trousers in different patterns which can all be worn together. Pictured above is one Florentine who looks spectacular in his combination. He also let us know a little secret of his: the best fish restaurants can be found on the stunning Cinque Terre.
