I was so happy when this documentary was shown in NYC. It profiles three Italian tailors, one in Italy, one in PA and the third in NYC. We learn about the apprentice system, in Italy, that trained them and their long careers.
It was wonderful to see the care they take working with their clients, making the patterns and fitting the suits.
Although the tailors bemoan the lack of younger, skilled tailors, there is a glimmer of hope. A young man apprentices with the PA tailor and builds a career for himself and Brioni (? or the company who purchased Brioni) opens a school, in Italy, to train future tailors.
I enjoyed the film and the discussion afterward. Thank you to the team that made this documentary!
