Ep.7: The Three-Piece Suit

Jacket, waistcoat and trousers: these are the three pieces that make up the suit. Isabella Rossellini guides us to discover its history and its dual nature, because, today, it is worn by both men and women. Guido Bonsaver, a professor at the University of Oxford, tells how this look was born, how it conquered Sicily and how it arrived on the big screen. The fashion historian Florence Müller, on the other hand, talks about the transition from men's to women's clothing, and focuses on women's independence and affirmation. Giulio Mauri, a tailor for Dolce&Gabbana for twenty years, reveals the behind the scenes of his work.
