Ready-to-wear
The pieces a wardrobe is built on
Designer ready-to-wear is clothing designed by someone you can name, cut in standard sizes and produced in small runs. This section looks at pieces up close, the cut, the fabric, the workshop, to help tell what is well made from what only looks it.
What you will find here

- The key pieces of a wardrobe, the blazer, the shirt, the jeans, the dress, the trench, and what makes a good one.
