    I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind elaborating on (if there is any beyond aesthetic) intentionality behind the gathered stitches you often do in the tags of garments.

    Best

    Dear supercilious,

    Thank you for your post and question, and thank you to your brother who gifted you his GBS. We are unable to answer your question however, as we need to know more specifically what detail you are referring to. If you might arrange a photo and/or jacket design reference number or photo of it as well... we of course, will try to give you some answer(s). As written however, we do not understand what your question is referring to exactly. Hoping to hear from you and thank you again.

    Best wishes, Geoffrey & the team

      New Works: pushing the limits of human excellence in a time of human ignorance

      It’s a wild and crazy world these days.

      Right-wing extremists are now becoming the incumbents all over the world. In armaments (both conventional and nuclear), trade, and big-tech… “Cold War” is back with a vengeance with no idea where it’s all going to lead to. The latest edition of the world’s biggest contemporary art exhibition, the 58th Venice Biennale Arte just opened with the title “May you live in interesting times.”- an ominous phrase used by ancient cultures to indicate not the best of wishes or expectations. The Trump administration seems ready to go to the brink of the abyss with China, Iran, Venezuela, Mexico, Russia, Nancy Pelosi, the Mayor of London, the European Union, Huawei, Robert Mueller, Cuba and even a large contingent of the corporate members of the U.S. Department of Commerce and his own Republican Party while dragging any foolish allies along with him he can, into a black hole of economic chaos with no end in sight.

      Science, critical thinking, rational thought, and any enlightened sense of real democratic freedom (due process, freedom of speech, press and assembly) are getting eclipsed as quickly as you can drag Julian Assange into a police van never to be heard from again, or Alabama can pass a no-abortion rule that throws women back into the stone ages. And all the while, the temperatures and the seas rise, the storm systems get more apocalyptic, the species keep dying, the floods get bigger, snow falls in June, heat waves come in December, the seasons no longer apply, and the causes of these changes continue to grow in a spiral of feedback loops that seem to confirm that the human race is on a race to self-destruction.

      Our own industry of fashion continues to feed and lead this spiral. Patagonia’s CEO continues to portray the brand as an environmental savior while at the same time covering up and doing nothing about its huge role in continuing to massively poison the world’s water with plastic from its polyester fleece microfibers. Ditto Adidas, Nike, and almost every sneaker manufacturer and designer riding on the dad sneaker boom of the past few seasons- totally dependent on thermoplastic technology in its products and ever more poly this and poly that. And all of the cheap fast fashion and expensive corporate luxury brands who continue to offer poly-laden fabric clothes hooked up with plastic buttons, plastic labels and plastic threads to the moon. And the spin our industry can put on it too… you’d think LV and Kering were Greenpeace in 1972 the way they plaster their new green company brand imagery now with every placement they buy including Virgil Abloh’s repugnant opinion piece recently published by the New York Times (a clear payback to LVMH’s enormous ad-buys with the publication) and his equally shameless, ugly, and dumb art installation in Venice right now pretending to show concern for global warming and rising sea levels. Few designers (somehow I have difficulty using that term for Mr. Abloh) in the world have profited more from and perpetuated the damage and the lies put out by the corporate global luxury fashion machine than this esteemed colleague—and yet there he is- quipping about his “power” in the New York Times based solely on follower numbers and how much he now suddenly wants to “do good” in his position. Yeah, right dude. Maybe you can be Kanye’s running mate in 2020 and try to do a better job than Trump and Pence together when you get in to the White House too. In the meantime, why don’t you try to learn something about making a garment instead of just your hype spin? You might actually find it more rewarding and even enjoyable than just chasing influencer numbers all day long and getting rich and famous off of slavery, environmental contamination, and ripping off a generation of nouveau rich people who know absolutely nothing about design, product or values. And you might be able come up with something really your own for once that isn’t just another remix of something you lifted from somebody else and spun it to your mainstream media sheep as a bold new idea of yours.

      We know. it’s not all you. After all you don’t own “Off-White” and you certainly don’t own LV—all “artists” serve some form of master, and you clearly have yours. And like Demna, Hedi, Riccardo and the others like you, you represent the corporate machine now, the kept designer in the golden palace… completely bought and paid for and hopefully capable and competent enough of fueling the sales growth and preening the image of the brand that you have signed away your freedom and to many of us, your integrity to. Don’t worry though, you can laugh at us- after all, you are in the palace not us. And those who own the palace are running things at the moment and they will protect you. For example, they have “managed” to get the official French Federation de la Mode (the government organizing body that sets up the official Paris fashion week runway show calendars) to name the new President of LVMH’s brand Celine as director of the men’s Paris fashion week. She is Hedi’s boss and part of the palace management, and she will protect Hedi and you from any real competition in the luxury market that could threaten to reveal the truth about the lie that the palace is built upon, and the coup that was performed over the past few decades to make the lie become the power. Like you said in the Times, all you have to do is believe you have the power, and you can get it. Maybe you and your owners are right. After all, you now have the system all rigged up— while many of our dear colleagues in the independent world seem to be dropping like flies.

      But like Apple and Huawei- fashion, like tech, is a very fluid game. And there are some of us out there, who still believe in hardware, fundamental research and development, true technology and above all, human beings with a passion for excellence. Like George Gilder the clairvoyant author of “Life after Google,” not all of us are sitting still accepting the status quo as a permanent situation. Indeed, the current situation of tech is nothing but a pile of problems and hassles beginning with security issues (read the first page of the book). No sir, we are looking ahead, investing, building and working on an evolving playing field based upon where things are going… actual solutions, real products and unprecedented transparency of process that will reveal a simple idea based upon the entire history of the human race—that when we work together with total commitment and respect for each other and are faced with either extinction or survival—we will choose the latter and do whatever it takes to achieve it. We will use technology, but the right technology needed to resolve the problems, not the technology that somebody like big-tech or big-fashion simply wants to sell to us for their own ends. And we will use our minds, eyes, ears, hands and bodies that when properly cared for, still represent the greatest combination of intelligence and physical dexterity capable of making things on this planet. More importantly, for our (growing) readers and customers, we will continue to make a product of superior value and usefulness that upon its acquisition will reinvest every penny into improving life on earth instead of degrading it and will help our customers to achieve their maximum potential in whatever they do or seek when it comes to wardrobe performance, comfort, innovation, and value.

      For example, this extreme handmade technology OYJ01 superjacket which defies the digital fashion domination pundits. With only six pieces made for the entire world this season, its advanced wide shoulder silhouette, super-slim waisted design in hand dyed superlux hand woven Tessitura La Colombina silk, linen & cotton with fully hand-padstitched canvas fronts, fully handmade in-house shoulder pads, fully hand stitched buttonholes and buttons represents over 120 hours of human excellence and skill that neither Bernard Arnault, Francois Pinault, Jeff Bezos or anyone like them can buy or have. Exclusively at Atelier in New York and Ink in Hong Kong...

            .

            How to build a 22 thousand euro suit.
            Welcome to the world
            ’s slowest designer clothes factory, birthplace of the world’s most extreme handmade suits.






            Let’s start with the fabric. Again, Fratelli Piacenza 1733’s Arcadia Super 210’s 13-micron hyperfine luxury wool as described in the previous post for the Barraccuda blouson. Why not, for comfort, weight, all-year performance, and pure downright impeccability, it's one of the best fabrics made in the world today. This time for a TYJ13 supersuit, it’s 4 meters required at over 400 euro per meter wholesale. That’s over 1200 euro in external fabric alone before a single cut has been made. Add pure silk exclusive raso satins created exclusively for us in Como the world’s leading center for fine silk production at over 50 euros per meter wholesale. And that’s just for the linings. Most “luxury” brands spend less than that on their main fabrics plus their production labor (Rick, Prada and Moncler in Moldavia, LV in Romania, Yohji in China for example).








            What next? 158 hours of pattern, cutting, construction, pad-stitching, more construction, washing, finishing, buttonholing work all done by hand by master members of the greatest tailoring team in the world to build the single suit. No Moldavian bullshit. No "Romanian" or "Tunisian" hidden or secret main operation doing 98 percent of the work with just the buttons and the labels being put on in Italy at the last minute just so the brand can lie and put a “made in Italy” label on the garment that wasn’t made in Italy. This is real Italian production and design excellence with real Italian legal employment lifetime work contract personnel that we have spent decades to build and develop into the Ferrari of the garment industry.







            Above: Nicholas Giannelli graduated design at RISD worked for over a decade designing for corporate America brands
            (Gap, Carhartt etc.), left it all to join the hardcore tailoring designer elite at GBS in Italy, then worked on 17 GBS Paris
            collections and now is the GBS Designer of Production, a management position unique in the industry exclusive to GBS that is responsible for
            overseeing all production operations including prototypes with a uniquely design-oriented and artistic perspective.
            Below: A page from the firm’s 2018 Annual report
            that highlights the people behind the amazing GBS story and the best clothes in the world.












            And the lunacy doesn’t end there, not a single molecule of plastic or poly anything in the entire product; exquisite real horn buttons handcrafted by the greatest living button makers in the world Claudio and Cinzia Fontana, extremely expensive and impossible to get pure cotton threads for all main construction seams and impeccable pure silk Bozzolo Reale Milano threads for all buttonholes, top-of-the-line Excella zipper for the trouser made for us to order in YKK’s special dedicated top quality factory in Japan that moves with a silky smooth action that screams (or rather, whispers) of quality. Take the almost 1,000 invisible tiny hand pad stitches in the real canvas front lapel and collar that give it its superb natural role line, the fat and generous 2.5 centimeter seam allowances on major fitting seams that allow alteration for up to two sizes up or down to help last a lifetime, the meticulous matching of exterior plaids and interior lining story silk patchwork compositions that add hours to cutting and stitching operations, the unique way each button is attached that gives the solid closure experience that only our clothes offer when you button them, the undeniably personal character of every single hand sewn buttonhole each of which requires at least 10 minutes to excecute (over two hours of expert work just to make the buttonholes alone), the handcut and built besom and welt pockets everywhere, the full Bemberg trouser linings that make you feel like you are wearing pajamas instead of one of the best made tailored trousers in the world, the beautiful taped hand sewn hems that take another hour and a half to accomplish, the immaculate handmade vents and working sleeve surgeon’s cuffs… and even the exquisite new first-in-the-world no polyester all silk label created exclusively for us by Mion in Torreglia that continues to raise the bar and set the standard for sustainability in an industry that does more talking about doing something than actually doing anything about their already monolithic destructive practices. Whether it’ll be recognized as being 4 levels better than anything Hermes, LV, Gucci, Celine, Balenciaga, CDG, Yohji or yeah, even Chanel, now puts out as high-end menswear and see the twinkly side of status and fame from the mainstream fashion media and the stupid mass luxury customer’s recognition is anybody’s guess. We don’t care. ...

              Screw the formula, it’s about pushing the envelope with both hands and
              just making the best fucking clothes in the world. And this is one of them. The only
              one of its kind created in the entire world this year. TheTYJ13 Fratelli Piacenza
              "Arcadia" Super 210's hypersuit. Built exclusively for Leisure Center in Vancouver.
              Priced about the same as a base model BMW 1 Series or Audi A1, but offering a far
              more exhilarating and rewarding user experience, and a hell of a lot less pollution...

                Shirts taken to the nth degree. First developed and introduced in Paris in June 2014, GBS handmade silk supershirts have been redefining an entirely new wardrobe segment that take haberdashery to the nth degree of exceptional comfort, remarkable details and unrivalled graphic print excellence. Their growing following has resulted in a long line of sold-out limited edition print series at our dealers worldwide and the firm is having increasing difficulty in meeting demand with from its master Como silk suppliers. People interested in one of our prints are strongly recommended to purchase (cop) on-sight, or else risk not ever being able to acquire it again. And no wonder, our deeply luxurious sumptous feeling Italian pure top level 16 mm momme weight pure "raso" satin silk that we use as our base cloth blows away the far lighter and chintzier feeling twill weave silk used by Hermes at almost a third less pricing in-store on average, and color retention and vibrancy is not even close. We know this for a fact, because we have worked with them both, and have made our decision based upon our experience. Then add the ultra-anti conformist anti-banal designs of our print art, the totally amazing maxed-out extreme handwork levels from labels to buttonholes and buttons to hand dye and fabric treatments that Hermes and other "top" houses can't even get near touching as a result of their enormous production volumes (total factory machine made schmaltz shirt product) and you begin to get the idea of the mind-bending design elements and features that swirl around this amazing new clothing category that we have single-handedly pioneered in the avant-garde market. Simply put, a GBS silk supershirt is a better value in every possible way. It's like a new 5G against a 3G, plus being able to acquire at a third less, and skipping the bogus bourgeois image as well. For some it may seem unfathomable to pay the same price for a GBS shirt as you could for some other brand's top jacket. But for others, it's a clear no-brainer. Each one is like no other shirt in the world, and far more thrilling and fun to wear than 99 percent of the jackets out there in the stores and e-com sites. New symbol of smart. No wonder they are selling so well...




















































                Inside Glimpse: images of a GBS pure Como silk HUS04, pearl-buttoned supershirt being prepared in the GBS Sartoria Workrooms at
                Cavarzere Venezia Italy for shipment to Canada’s leading designer store, Leisure Center in Vancouver. Arriving soon with over 22 hours of exceptional
                handmade luxury craftmanship and design passion built into the single piece.

                  And for those of us who still need to walk the streets, take a subway-metro-or tube, fly commercial, go to the office, and overall just plain slug it out in this new dystopian 21st century society, we propose a new darkside elegance designed to take the wear and tear and grind of the ongoing scam of urban contemporary existence with toughness, respect and of course, superb comfort, security and style. For example, this special version of the extreme limited edition HUJ11 handmade jacket and OYP12 trouser in dark black hand dyed Varese deluxe super-soft cotton gabardine chino twill created for Ink in Hong Kong with an OYS13 “superleggero” superlight handmade supershirt in cotton & wool striped weave garza weave also at Ink, Hostem Archive (London), Atelier (New York) , Zovin (Shenzhen), and Carrefour (Jiyugaoka)...

                  and viscosa created for Hostem Archive in London with an OYP23 cropped narrow leg trouser…

                  collection handmade suit in Luigi Parisotto’s crisp and ultra-cool ramie & cotton “Zola” herringbone pinstripe
                  weave suiting cloth exclusive for GBS created for Darklands (Berlin), L’Eclaireur Boissy d’Anglas (Paris),

                  Cathedral (Osaka & Ginza), and Gullam (Daikanyama)…






























                  Keep your integrity. Support the resistance.

                      Thank you very much Mojo1990 and Zam!

                      Credit for the dress goes to Toby Green who was the developing designer of the project and model Olivia who is with Studio Paris Model Management who is wearing the dress so well. Toby comes from Victoria BC in Canada and is training on our design team learning all aspects of design development and tailoring. This was one of his first official collection projects, with him developing patterns, muslin testing, cutting and constructing the piece all by himself. It must also be noted that before leaving everything in Canada and coming to Italy to try out for a slot on the Sartoria team about a year ago, he had never sewn or created clothes before (although he had been making jewelry and studied visual arts at the University of Victoria). An example of Toby's persistence and determination and the amazing developmental teaching and organizational progress that is going on in our workrooms as we build and develop a new generation of real practitioners in the art and science of tailoring for the future. Along with Nicholas Giannelli, Lois Dionisio, David Wild, Brandon Leung and our growing team of real working designers, great strides are being made in both the creative and productive capacity of our team.

                      Along with them, Toby will be in Paris this weekend to introduce our latest body of new works. The new collection, driven by those who think differently, and inspired to propose and define a new "intellectual style" for radical thinkers everywhere, will be dedicated to my dad who passed away earlier this year as well as other scientists, intellectuals, teachers and academics like him past, present and future who always expressed a different way of seeing and looking at things in our world.

                      Due to the nature of the presentation and in interests of discretion, we are only having about 50 private invitees. If you are in Paris Zam, you are as always most cordially invited.

                      For other SZ'ers in Paris who would like to attend please contact Lionel for a last minute pass: fashiontherapy@free.fr

                      Cheers and thanks again,

                      Geoffrey

                            .


                            Thanks so much to Ahimsa, Faust, and the incredible Matthew Reeves for the great photo essay of “radical numbers” for SZ-magazine. Also to all of the great fellows who modeled the collection and worked together to make the presentation possible… many heartfelt thanks.


                            I inform SZ readers that I will be in North America in early August for the following intimate personal in-store events...


                            Atelier in New York on Saturday 3 August


                            Is there life after streetwear? Few stores in North America have been more synonymous with the artisanal design movement than Atelier in New York. From its founding by partners Karlo Steel and Costantin von Haeften through 2 different locations to its closing, acquisition and then rebirth and rebuilding by its current owner Lu Han into two locations in Manhattan and now Flushing respectively, the store has housed a long list of veteran and younger designers known for their focus on craft and the art and metier of making things. Recently however, the corporate industrial push of streetwear has had a huge impact on many of these designers, the market in general, and even some of the store’s selection of brands. However, anyone who was inside the industry and attending the most recent men’s fashion week circuit presentations in both Milan and Paris couldn’t help but see, hear and feel a dramatic shift taking place away from tee’s, hoodies and sneakers and back to tailored pieces across virtually all brands. So what’s up with that? Well for one, that nasty sustainability and plastic problem isn’t going away as recently evidenced by Stella McCartney’s 2nd corporate sellout of her brand and company now to LVMH (after Kering before them) and this slamming article on the industry that just came out in the The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/...om-our-clothes . And for two, many of the generation-Z and millennial customers particularly in China are moving on, growing up, and starting to learn more and more about what longer-term wardrobe value means. And like the entire Chinese fashion market history so far, they are moving faster than anyone expected.

                            I will be in New York at the store on West 8th Street on Saturday August 3rd for an intimate designer-in-person event with SZ to discuss these questions and introduce our newest Autumn/winter 2019 pieces made for the store from “the onion” and “I am not sustainable” Paris collections. If you are in the New York-area, and an existing GBS customer or hoping to become one, this would be a great time to “ask the designer” any questions you may have on old and new pieces, and I will be personally signing GBS pieces purchased during the event with the customer’s name or message in the piece. Looking forward to seeing many of you on the 3rd. Please contact the store for more event information and invites: inquire@ateliernewyork.com

                            Leisure Center in Vancouver on Tuesday August 6th


                            Ah, and about that 22k euro suit that so many have been commenting about…. From NYC, I will be heading northwest to Vancouver to be at Leisure Center for a discreet and private event to personally introduce in detail, discuss and sign the incredible new Super 210’s supersuit which has just arrived there in-store and was written about last month on this thread. A great chance to see people in the northwest interested in our work and approach--and also discuss old and new GBS pieces now in the store, and personally sign any purchases during the event with the customer’s name or message in the pieces. Looking forward to seeing many of you on the 6th. If you are in the Vancouver BC area at that time, please contact the store for more event information and invites: info@leisure-center.com

                                Can you expand more on this growing up and realization of long-term wardrobe value change in China? What you have experience/read? Or, if you can, point me to direction to where I can read more on this?

                                Thank you.
