The Saville Row Cutter by LCF PhD student Hormazd Narielwalla
The professional life of one of Savile Row’s best-known characters has been captured in a new book published next month titled, ‘The Savile Row Cutter’. Now Chairman of Dege & Skinner and a Master Cutter, Michael Skinner’s career started in 1952 when he joined the family firm as an 18 year old and he has since trained a great number of the bespoke tailors currently plying their trade on the Row.
Written ‘in conversation’ by LCF PhD student Hormazd Narielwalla, the book provides a fascinating insight into the life and work of a Master Tailor who has been at the forefront of bespoke tailoring for more than 50 years.
