A wildly entertaining biography of the British fashion designer who
set the trends for rock royalty from the Beatles to Mick Jagger to
Elton John. Tommy Nutter was a visionary tailor in the bespoke
tradition who dressed everybody from Lord Montagu of Beaulieu to
Twiggy, who outfitteds three of the Beatles for the cover of Abbey
Road (George Harrison preferred jeans), who put Mick Jagger in a
white suit for his wedding to Bianca and who dressed Elton John for
years, using the singer as his muse for his signature outrageous
style. Nutter was alluring for his ambiguity -- a chameleon who
could rub shoulders with Princess Margaret and then dance with the
drag queens at Last Resort -- and his clothes were the physical
expression of a sharp, audacious wit. House of Nutter charts Tommy
Nutter's dramatic career that spanned barely 23 years, ending in
1992 with his untimely death. It is a history of London during an
era of economic and cultural upheaval, a celebration of the methods
and traditions of Savile Row; and an elegy for what was lost during
the worst days of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. With archival access to
photos, letters and interviews from Tommy Nutter's sole living
relative, his brother, David, Lance Richardson takes us behind the
'70s glamour to explore the public face and private life of one of
Britain's most respected yet rule-breaking bespoke clothiers and
the celebrities he dressed.
