E tautz at London Fashion week 2014<\/p><\/div>\n

The E Tautz catwalk at the 2014 London Men\u2019s Fashion week showcased embroidered embellishments by students at the Royal school of Needlework. Following the theme of the \u2018Rake\u2019s Progress\u2019, embroidered motifs were left unfinished and distressed, to give the impression of precious garments that were relics of former prosperity. A real-life \u2018Rake\u2019s Progress\u2019 can be traced in Henry Cyril Paget (1875- 1905), the 5th Marquess of Anglesey. His love of extravagant entertainments bankrupted him in 1904, with debts of half a million pounds \u2013 only five years of his income, at a time when many families were living on \u00a3100 a year. Paget\u2019s possessions were sold to pay his creditors \u2013 some of his suits were purchased by Vesta Tilley, a music-hall male impersonator who appeared as \u2018Burlington Bertie\u2019. An Art Nouveau embroidered waistcoat, probably designed especially for Paget, was bought by his friend Miss Emilie Grigsby and later presented to the V&A.<\/p>\n
