gennaro paone: former head tailor of rubinacci

[TheFoo]



:foo: was robbed.

Never forget.

I dream of what could have been.

Like I said, "stylist" to me connotes something like an image consultant. A person who directs what clothes you should wear. I'm sure Mariano does that if you ask him to, but what you describe, which is similar to my own experience, and has much more to do with technical and structural intra-garment detailing, doesn't really add up to that.

Rachel Zoe, for example, is a stylist (although, she has since become a designer, but you get the idea).

There is more than one definition for stylist and for designer. You are hung up on the one you don't like. I am.not even sure you know what someone like Rachel Zoe does, really.

Google tells me that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named (Danny Trepanier) is now a "Senior Advisor" for Michael Andrews "Bespoke" which I think means he's a stylist.

But I'm not really sure anymore.

No, I'm simply being clear with my language. By the definition of "stylist" I am familiar with and which I observe most frequently, I don't really think it captures what Mariano does. If other people want to define the word with different nuance, we can talk materially about whether it applies. As of the moment, however, most are happy to throw words and assumptions around.

By the way, you are also unsure if I know what I experienced because a blogger, competing tailor, and a half dozen internet trolls told you that I didn't experience it, so I'm not sure how much it matters that you're not sure I know what Rachel Zoe does.

What, did she momentarily think about leaving you? I'm so sorry. It just happens. It's the vividness of the tweed.

How many years before you can enter again? Or was that your OneChance?

the dropped jaw was not due to an O-face.

I still remember the day we found out that a guy on our desk did some modelling (of the non-Excel variety) on the side - everyone set their desktop background to a different one of his headshots.

We referred to him as Mr. Dubai for a solid two weeks, even with clients.

No, your experience with Mariano, as you have described it, is with that of a traditional stylist, in the context of a tailoring house, which I described earlier on. They can play varying roles, and advise more, or less, depending on the client.

Do they carry Rubinacci at Autozone?

The first Rubinacci tailor was Cesare Attolini, who did OK for himself.

I think you meant his father Vincenzo Attolini, who teached at that time my grandmaster who later became of Rubinacci as he told me.
