A Pups's Eye View of

The Philadelphia Museum: Tailoring

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.
