Nina Penlington is the head cutter at Edward Sexton. She carries forward one of the greatest tailoring legacies of our generation.
The late Edward Sexton was the technical mind behind Nutters of Savile Row. In the 1960's Edward and Tommy Nutter revitalized the Row with their glamorous suits and welcoming shop front. They dressed rock and roll legends such as Mick Jagger, Elton John, and most Beatles members.
The cut was unapologetic and romantic. Edward and Tommy made full-bodied coats with square shoulders, nipped waists, and lapels so wide that they almost grazed the wearer's shoulders. Sexton liked to call his cut "long and leafy."
Sadly, Edward passed away in the summer of '23, and Nina, who previously worked under him, has taken his place as the firm's head cutter. She has almost 20 years of experience as a cutter, having worked at Dege & Skinner and Gieves & Hawks, which gives her a solid foundation for carrying forward Edward's strong and angular cut.
Derek and Peter discuss what it was like working with Edward, how to make bespoke suits for women, and a controversial tailoring topic called "straightening & crookening."
