This illustrated history of the Savile Row story is in fact the definitive history of the world's most famous concentration of bespoke tailors and coincides with the centenary of the Federation of Merchant Tailors, their exclusive trade association. This is not only a history of the street and those who flourished there, but of the social changes that Savile Row has seen and influenced. - Subject Terms:
