We asked the British artist to design a temporary storefront while our new London location on Marylebone High Street was being built. The pieces certainly added some local color… See more here.

Studio Tour: E. Tautz

on a rather Dickensian morning, we visited the design studio of E. Tautz (in addition to designing menswear it produces a small line of women’s shirts) and chatted with its handsome creative director, Patrick Grant, about the London menswear scene, buying up a Savile Row tailor, Norton & Sons, and his love of collar studs.

Hometown and current home
I grew up in Edinburgh and recently moved from Three Mills Island to Marylebone.

In addition to designing for E. Tautz, you also run the Savile Row tailor Norton & Sons. How do you split your time?
In principle, I try to divide my time evenly between the studio in Wapping and the shop on Savile Row—mornings in one and afternoons in the other. But the reality is a bit of a jumble of these two projects, plus all the other things I work on. I keep a paper diary, a pencil and an eraser on me at all times.

Have you always been obsessed with clothes?
I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t fastidious about my dress. Even as a five-year-old, I always wanted to be neat and well turned out: tie tied just so, socks up, shorts neat.

What are your earliest memories of getting dressed up?
I remember it began with my dad’s clothes: beautiful, slim tailored suits made for him in the ’60s; crisp white collars and soft well-worn shirts; all the beautiful little laundry labels and tabs in the neck; embroidered initials. I loved the routine of putting on collar studs and cuff links, polished shoes and a perfectly tied tie. It felt like part of being a man.

Most treasured piece of clothing in your closet?
I have a dinner suit of my grandfather’s that was tailored in 1935. I still wear it today and it looks as beautiful as ever (though it’s about as thick as an old blanket).

Most stylish Englishman you know?
Musician Jarvis Cocker is consistently the most stylish man around.
