I scrolled down & saw the laptop open & knew it was ypsilon haha. Great tailor. An old maestro.
Although, I’m not sure he trained raffaniello or Ciccio, as their style is definitely more Neapolitan than ypsilon’s. He did, however, train the late satoki kawai, at sartoria crescent. Satoki started there in Milan, then Colombo & A. Caraceni.
I’m not sure how much all the 3d scanning helps: every Milanese tailor I’ve used put a chest dart automatically without a 3d scan. Seems like it’s just for show & Japanese government grants apparently.
Milanese & Roman style is almost interchangeable, owing to their shared heritage with the caraceni family. Maybe Roman is a little bit softer.
I didn't say he trained Ciccio or Raffaniello. I meant that he significantly predates the current crop of Japanese tailors like them going over to Europe, without garnering near as much attention (perhaps partly because of lack of trunk shows).
He still personally fits clients, so I imagine the main time savings are in drafting the first baste since its printed all at once for him to adjust. And then feeding back his adjustments to the system.
