Tailoring Philadelphia
Tradition and Innovation in Menswear
October 2, 2010 - October 16, 2011
Below are pictures from the costume exhibits which was held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The
pictures were taken by Tina Connell.
The pictures represent a sampling of tailoring from both the 1930-1950 and a range of suiting
from the 1960's by Francis Toscani, one of Philadelphia's most successful and innovative tailors.
