Massgefertigt - Die Herrenschneider der Londoner Savile Row. 08.11.2014, 11:05 Uhr Von Ruth Rach Die legendäre Musterwand von Anderson and Shephard. (Deutschlandradio / Ruth Rach) Sie kleiden Könige, Filmstars und Rocklegenden ein und gelten als die unbestrittenen Meister ihres Handwerks: die Herrenschneider der Savile Row. Schon zu viktorianischen Zeiten wurden hier Herrenanzüge gefertigt. Wer sich in der Londoner Savile Row einkleiden ließ, wollte zeigen, dass er den verweichlichten Stil der Pariser Aristokraten ablehnte und den englischen Look bevorzugte. Inspiriert von den sachlichen Uniformen der Armee und der sportlichen Tweedgarderobe der Country Gentlemen.
