Emotionally Charged Fashion

Why our favorite fashion items are often emotionally charged.

We’ve asked some of our friends in the industry to tell us about an item of clothing that holds special meaning in their lives. Thanks to the Netflix series Worn Stories for the inspiration.

“My love of clothing came from my father. Before he was an investment banker in New York City, he worked in London for several years and learned to appreciate Savile Row tailoring. He wore only French cuff shirts and only polka dot ties (he had several hundred ties-all polka dots.) The first gift that I can remember getting from my dad is this pair of gold cufflinks featured in this photo from our lookbook. He gave them to me for my sixth birthday!!!
