I AM DELIGHTED THAT ONE OF THE WORLD’S ICONIC LUXURY BRANDS, THE SAVOY HOTEL IN LONDON OPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY, 10/10/10, AFTER BEING CLOSED FOR A MAJOR REFURBISHMENT OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS.
The reports I have read so far suggest that the glamour, luxury and magic that made the Savoy the favourite hotel in London for royalty, political leaders, business tycoons and Hollywood stars for so many years are all very much in evidence.
The Savoy’s General Manager Kiaran MacDonald’s comment that, “today, customers are looking for things that offer resonance and substance, which is what we provide,” very much fits with my belief as to why bespoke clothing is still held in such high regard.
Born in 1949 and christened John Handel Lawson Cutler, I am the fourth generation of my family to take up the tailor's shears. I joined the family business straight from school at 16 years of age. Even before then I had always shown a very keen interest in bespoke tailoring and shirt making.
