Benjamin John Hall

Benjamin John Hall undertook a research residency at Fashion Space Gallery in 2015, focusing on the history and cultural significance of menswear tailoring traditions in Britain.

His research explored the relationship between bespoke tailoring, subcultural dress and contemporary menswear design — examining how traditional tailoring practices have been appropriated, subverted and transformed by designers and communities outside the Savile Row establishment.

Hall's residency produced a body of research and a series of public events exploring the politics and poetics of men's tailoring.
