Edward Sexton

Edward Sexton

“Like Lennon and McCartney, Edward Sexton’s name is inextricably linked to the late Tommy Nutter. The shop this dynamic duo opened together on Saint Valentine's Day in 1969 – Nutters of Savile Row – revolutionized the Row.” [Sherwood]

While Nutter was the face of the house, its skilled hands belonged to the master cutter Edward Sexton. Whilst respectful of traditional bespoke tailoring, the pair added contemporary details that the house became famous for. The old establishment of Savile Row gave the business six months, but Nutters flourished.

Today Sexton’s style is a soft construction distinguished by a high-cut armhole and rope shoulder with a distinctive collar and lapel shape and finally a higher waist creating a taller slender silhouette.

Edward Sexton is the undisputed master of Savile Row tailoring for women. Stella McCartney chose to do an apprenticeship with him and together they designed and made all the pieces for her first catwalk show in Paris for Chloé.

Famous/infamous customers: John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Sir Paul and Linda McCartney, Ringo Starr, George Harrison, Mick Jagger, Bianca Jagger, Eric Clapton, the Duke of Bedford, Joan Collins, Bill Blass, Manolo Blahnik, Jack Nicholson, Jerry Zipkin, Jackie Kennedy, Rupert Murdoch, George Soros.
