I recently had the privilege of spending a few days with the tailors of Savile Row, London's foremost purveyors of fine clothes. The shoot was an editorial piece for Russian airline Transaero's Imperial Magazine. It was interesting to see the workmanship that goes into producing these handmade bespoke suits and to meet the characters who, in many cases, have spent their entire working lives on this famous street.
