Case studies include the male suit in Alfred Hitchcock's film North by Northwest (1959), the revolutionary production methods in the work of Carol Christian Poell and the innovative textile manufacture of Bonotto in Molvena (north-East Italy)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUlrich Lehmann\u003c\/strong\u003e is Research Professor and course leader for MA Fashion at the University for the Creative Arts at Rochester, Kent and Honorary Research Fellow at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
