Neapolitan tailoring was born as an attempt to loosen up the stiffness of English tailoring, which did not suit the Neapolitan lifestyle or climate.
[1] Vincenzo Attolini, the master tailor at London House in Napoli, created the Neapolitan look featuring slim lines, high armholes, and soft-shouldered jackets.
[2] His son, Cesare Attolini, helped to promote the Neapolitan silhouette beyond Italy.
