Edward Sexton

  • Bespoke tailoring
  • Peaked-lapel suits

Edward Sexton brought a dramatic visual language to bespoke British tailoring. As the cutter behind Nutters of Savile Row, founded with Tommy Nutter in 1969, he helped make the traditional suit appealing to musicians and other clients seeking a more individual image.

About Edward Sexton

Broad peaked lapels, defined shoulders and a shaped waist became recurring features of his work. His later independent house continued to serve both men and women. The pink suit worn by Harry Styles in 2017 shows those established cutting principles adapted to a contemporary performer and an assertive color.
