Sven Raphael Schneider, Editor-in-Chief of Gentleman's Gazette, NYC, Jan 2012
There is no replacement for meeting face to face. For me it's a great adventure, and one of the reasons I love photographing people. When Sven Raphael Schneider, whom I only knew from his online magazine, Gentleman's Gazette, came to visit NYC I was curious to meet the man behind the scene. Sven's focus on classic men's style is razor sharp, and I was surprised to find out it all started with his interest in vintage. Sven described his vast collection menswear fashion illustrations, and my jaw dropped. I can't even begin to fathom his other collections! If he just posted about this it would undoubtedly fill up years on the blog, but of course he is also interested in reviewing specialty products, showcasing "Gentlemen of Style" (always my favorite), and cultivating savoir-vivre. Sven is a true aficionado of classic menswear, and Gentleman's Gazette is his way of fine tuning the conversation.
A bit of a surprise on the label of his suit jacket...one never knows!
Style Notes:
Suit: Vintage 1960s bespoke from Hussmüller Munich, Germany with a rare double breasted waistcoat

Good work, Rose and Sven. Sator at The Cutter and Tailor Forum has covered as much ground as possible on Michael Hussmüller, so I'm pleased to see a surviving example of that maker's excellent work

DeleteOMG- this suit is awesome! Where do you get something like that?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments!
ReplyDeleteI do have a number of Hussmüller suits and even tuxedos and tailcoats. He was one of Germany's great tailors at the time. I will make sure to write an article just about him sometime.
Regards, Raphael - Gentleman's Gazette
