House of Nutter: The Rebel Tailor of Savile Row by Lance RichardsonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this biog - really of the 2 Nutter brothers: tailor Tommy and photog David. There remarkable lives are more than the broad-shouldered bespoke suit trend Tommy started after first bringing in the altered style of an English horse riding jacket. Bother moved in orbits with Elton John as a focus and thats three of Tommy's creations on the cover of Abbey Road. Both gay men lived a colorful club life that was eclipsed by the specter of AIDS. The decades covered here feel like a generational sweep of the '70s thru the '80s and succeeding (at times) with a creative life.
