There have been a number of discussions in the past about the fate and future of Savile Row. This week, The Independent revisited the question. "Their new neighbours sell jeans, or 'bespoke' suits for £200. Their clientele are tightening their belts – forcing even the most illustrious names to outsource their ancient craft. Are the tailors of Savile Row heading for their final fittings?"
Is The Independent right? Is the Row -- already in long-term decline and now facing the pressures globalisation, commercialisation, competition and modernity -- faced with the brutal reality of having to sell up or sell out?
