In a new compact edition, a luxurious celebration of the elegant craftsmanship behind the timeless French men’s fashion and lifestyle labels. 
Home of haute couture and the world’s leading fashion houses, Paris and its inhabitants represent sophistication and refinement to the rest of the world. Debonair Parisian men continue to participate in a centuries-long tradition of sartorial craftsmanship and quality.
In its newly accessible compact edition, The Parisian Gentleman is like a dream shopping excursion to the leading men’s style-makers, from hidden ateliers and little- known studios to internationally renowned labels such as shirtmakers Charvet, shoemakers Berluti, and the recently revived trunk-makers Moynat. The stories behind each house, and the creative minds and artisans who give each brand its unique identity, bring the clothes alive, capturing an unceasing dedication to quality in an era overrun with new, mass-produced trends.
Author Hugo Jacomet’s portraits of these often-inaccessible marques (or brands) are intimate and illuminating, thanks to his personal connections to many of the leading figures. His text is accompanied by beautifully shot photographs of the designers, studios, garments, and locations, the majority of which were taken exclusively for this book. 350+ illustrations

The Italian Gentleman /anglais

Fashion

In the world of fashion, Italy is the Mount Everest of men's style. London may have Savile Row, Paris its luxury industries, and New York Madison Avenue, but none possesses the true essence of Italian elegance. Beyond its global fashion brands, the soul of Italian style is found in the workshops and boutiques of the established masters and artisans who for generations have created the finest menswear on the planet. Industry insider and respected sartorialist Hugo Jacomet is one of Europe's most knowledgeable commentators on men's fashion. This lavish guide is the result of over two years spent traveling the length and breadth of Italy, from the foothills of the Alps to the islands of Sicily, documenting the craftsmanship behind Italy's most elegant gentlemen. From Renaissance fabric mills to the world-famous sartorias, from international brands to family-run businesses, over fifty houses from across the country are celebrated for their unique style and commitment to upholding timeless Italian traditions. Exquisite photographs by Lyle Roblin, commissioned specially for this book, reveal the passion and zeal of the country's finest fabric merchants, tailors, producers and boutique-owners. This richly illustrated journey uncovers the rarely seen producers of true Italian style, essential reading for the modern gentleman and all those who appreciate the beauty of a bespoke suit, the quality of a hand-welted shoe, the luxury of hand-made gloves, or the flamboyant panache of a seven-fold silk tie.
