“He spent time with the tailors downstairs, working out how to hold a thimble, thread a needle and sew. There are all sorts of little nuances that he worked on and perfected,” said Carey. “He learned to use the shears, which are four or five pounds in weight. They’re heavy things, and to be able to just to pick them up and use them properly — without looking like an amateur — is quite a skill.”
“Back when I started about 21 years ago, Savile Row was quite a sniffy, uppity place. You had to have an appointment to get into the shops, there were curtains in the windows. It could put younger people off. From the outside, Huntsman looks like an old-school establishment, but when you get inside it’s quite dynamic and progressive, with a young, young team,” he said.
“It was this fictitious creation: a Savile Row tailor working in America in the mid-1950s. So how do you construct the shoulder? Because a mobster suit in the mid-’50s is very different from a Savile Row suit with an inset shoulder from that time. But they gave us great guidance,” said Posen, who worked closely with his co-costume designer Sophie O’Neill.
He got a real buzz working with the house. “They are 170 years old, and make some of the most beautiful suits in the world — and I have worn many, many suits in my life,” said Posen, a womenswear designer and the former creative director of Brooks Brothers.
