Paul Minichiello (December 9, 1940-August 1st 2014) was a master tailor who was a fixture in the Vancouver fashion scene for nearly five decades. He rose to prominence in the 1960s and 1970s by attracting a reputation for offering bold, bespoke tailored clothing that challenged more traditional and conservative approaches to men’s fashion.〔Crenna, Carol. “Civil Suits”.

At the age of five he began sweeping floors in the workshop of a local tailor, but soon moved into the role of apprentice.〔“The Clothes Horse: Paul Minichiello and His Fashion Stable. (June 2001). Canadian Thoroughbred〕 Eight years later, at the age of 13, he finished his first suit, which he’d designed for his father, who was emigrating to Vancouver, Canada.〔Sidebar in North Shore News. (September 24, 1995) p. 27〕 One year later Paul left Italy himself and followed his father, making a solo trek to Vancouver. Upon arrival he immediately began working at a variety of local tailors in order to help pay the way for his mother, brothers and sisters to join them.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul Minichiello」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
