Minister's report of fashion for gentlemen (Spring & Summer, 1929)
A 1929 London fashion catalogue issued by the tailoring house Minister & Co for gentlemen's spring and summer clothing. Its pictures are grey-toned line illustrations of men in lounge suits, double-breasted jackets, evening dress and overcoats, shown full length with hats, canes and gloves. A designer could take from them the cut, lapel and trouser proportions of interwar menswear and the period's stiff, poised figure drawing.
