The Art Deco Suit

This photograph first appeared in an exhibition of conceptual Nutter’s of Savile Row suits, held at the Lajeski Gallery in New York. The exhibits were primarily suits that Edward had cut for David Nutter’s circle of close friends, each of whom David photographed in a Nutter’s suit expressly for the exhibition. This three-piece suit is a Nutter’s of Savile Row icon, the ‘Art Deco Suit’, tailored in a dramatic style with light brown and white insets on the lapel and tops of the patch pockets. The trousers are full Oxford bags. Tommy and Edward were inspired by the glamour of the 1920s and ‘30s, and often drew on a romanticised view of the period when designing suits.
