Culture Most Wanted.
One of the most iconic garments, the men’s evening tux, is currently being de-constructed, measured, cut and put back together on fashion film website SHOWstudio.
Ritchie Charlton, joint owner of Mount Street tailors Hayward – who have dressed the likes of Steve McQueen and Michael Caine – shows, through live streaming, the step-by-step guide to creating Le Smoking. And this particular jacket is for lead singer of Primal Scream, Bobby Gillespie.
Today is the final opportunity to see Ritchie at work, and engage with what really goes into creating a fine-fitting, sharp suit. It goes some way to debunking the myth of fashion, taking us behind the scenes and looking at the talent and hard work that drives what many see as a frothy industry.

Loma was a performer and freelance writer before becoming a journalist on the Daily Star Sunday, Daily Star and Express. She's the Founder and Editor of Culture Compass. North, South, East or West? I'll go anywhere. I like to think that I'm a pretty good map reader ( not everyone would agree ) but then I remind them that I navigated my way around the Paris one-way system with NO mistakes. High Class or Common or Garden? High class in the garden. Clothes or Culture? Culture in new clothes. My best night out ever made me feel....... That things would never be the same again. And they surely weren't the following day.
