Ex-Architect Does Not 'Make' Clothes, But He 'Builds' Them
New York (U.P.)—If you stitch up clothes that are more flattering to American women, the ladies will beat a path to your salon.

Suit jackets have flexible bones to accent smooth fit, and a slightly-arched hip curve, made by a stitched canvas lining.
