#Repost @bespokeaficionado with @get_repost ・・・ 🅱️🅰️ How old were you when you developed an interest in sartorial culture and what was the major formative influence❓ • 🇫🇷Quentin Planchenault @quenteu📍Paris Sartorial Connoisseur and Patina Aficionado👞 I discovered the Sartorial culture almost 5 years ago ( I was 25 then) through Hugo Jacomet ( founder of the @parisian_gentleman blog) and his interview with the french blog "Bonne Gueule" . This video interview was a shock for me: I said to myself, what Hugo is saying is great and so true. I definitely want to live within this universe. I directly became passionate of the craftsman industry and more particularly the art of tailors and shoemakers❗️ • 🇫🇷Adriano Dirnelli @dirnelli📍Paris Sartorial Entrepreneur and Contributing Editor @parisian_gentleman📝 My interest in sartorial culture dates back to the days when I attended Phillips Exeter Academy @phillipsexeter, which is one of the few high schools in the United States where you still have to wear jacket and tie. Having to wear an ironed shirt, a jacket and a tie every day at age 17 is a formative experience, which has stayed with me my whole life, whether I was at times embracing it or rebelling against it. Later in life, in my mid 20s, I was a news channel anchorman, which renewed my interest in suits and ties , for professional reasons, because I was on TV. As I was putting my image out there every day, I started to pay closer attention to suit, shirt and tie combinations, to make sure I nailed it. During this period, I started to speak to a lot of tailors and my interest in bespoke grew from there❗️ • 📸 by @quenteu • #paris #apf #hugojacomet #sartorialtalks #parisiangentleman #fattoamano #sumisura #fattosumisura #madetomeasure #sprezzatura #italianstyle #suits #suitandtie #savilerow #gentleman#dapper #france #bespoke #adrianodirnelli #dirnelli #tailor #sastre #handtailored #bespokeaficionado #tailormade #handmade #artisan #atelier
