When posted to Kabul, most people dress like they're on a mountaineering expedition. Rory Stewart, on the other hand, gets fitted out on Savile Row. Settling into a tattered armchair in the Afghan capital's Gandamak bar-named after the battlefield where British troops were defeated by the Afghans in 1842 during the first Anglo-Afghan war-the Eton and Oxford alumnus looks and sometimes sounds like an unreconstructed colonial nawab. He clasps his hands behind his head, exposing a pair of malachite cufflinks that glitter against gleaming white cuffs. "The secret to a good suit," he muses...

"Many of the staffers at Blueprint make their own clothes--beautiful things," Stewart says proudly. "I think sewing is such an important thing to know and especially to teach kids." She adds, without a hint of irony, "It's important...
Even men who cannot afford couture prices want to look more like Daniel Craig or Sean (Diddy) Combs than a casual-Friday holdover from the 1990s. "People want to dress up now," says Jarret Kerman, director of clothing at Ermenegildo Zegna Couture. "Our best-selling suits are in dark, dressy fabrics." He adds that Zegna Couture, with the price of an average suit running from $3,200 to $4,000, has been growing exponentially in the past few seasons, its wholesale business quadrupling in the past year...
