< p > collocation master: Manning is in his studio in New York.

Manning is the founder of Peter Manning, a short men's clothing brand founded last year. He is very communicative and speaks fast.

He said the idea of the brand is unprecedented. The idea of creating such a brand can be traced back to his early teenage years when he wanted a bell bottomed trousers in particular.

"But my mother told me," honey, I can't buy bell bottoms for you.

After pants are cut off, they are not flared trousers! "Although never had bell bottoms, but after becoming a successful real estate developer and the youngest Tony Awards Broadway producer (in 1999 he won the award by the Side Man), Manning had time and money to develop his passion project.

He worked alone, working in the studio of TriBeCa, and a townhouse shared by his husband Andre Bishop (Upper East Side) in the Upper East (Upper East Side).

Bishop is the artistic director of Lincoln Center.

Manning's a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" target= "_blank" > clothing "/a" can only be purchased on Petermanningnyc.com now, but he has already opened a store.

< /p >

< p > although Manning himself is 1.72 meters tall and his figure is not very short, the height and below men account for 25% of the total male population in the United States. He feels that this group has been seriously neglected by the mainstream retailers.

He believes that he and other short men have been forced to pay a "reduction tax" because every time they buy clothes, they spend money to reduce their shirts and trousers.

He said: "we buy every a href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/ "target=" _blank "> clothes < /a > all need to be changed. We spent hundreds of thousands of dollars for this, which is unfair.

Many shops do provide free reduction services, but Manning thinks the quality is uneven. And the basic clothes such as polo shirts and jeans are especially troublesome for men who don't like shopping very much.

< /p >

< p > then Manning took out a magazine and turned to the page of a photo of the famous short billionaire Ronald Perelman (Ron Perelman).

He said, "look at his cuffs, roll up two ways, and see how his shirt hangs down.

He had hundreds of millions of dollars in his body and could not find a suitable shirt.

< /p >

< p > Manning set up a brand new size system for his brand. The sizes of each dress range from one to five, and each size takes into account the factors of height and weight.

His brand is mainly classic and reasonably priced single garments. Since November last year, the handmade casual wear of New York legendary tailor Martin Greenfield (Martin Greenfield) has been added.

Manning said these are slightly more expensive than others, $795 per piece, but they are timeless classics.

< /p >

< p > Manning said he often received letters from fans, and his girlfriend and mother would write and thank him.

He said, "I feel like I am being dignified by those men who have been feeling ill for a long time."

< /p >

< p > ladies have special big yards and small yards. Tall men can go to big yards, while little men have been left behind.

As a result, many people find strategies to dress up.

< p > > Sam Spector (Sam Spector) is a stylist with a height of 5 feet and 5 inches (about 1.65 meters), and its customers are many stars including the famous short actor Daniel Daniel (Radcliffe Radcliffe).

He said that his secret is to go shopping at the beginning of each season and buy it when the size is the most complete at that time.

He said, "after a few weeks, the 34 inch suit will be gone."

Spector also liked the brands of Club Monaco, J. Crew and All Saints, all of which had XS size in Monaco.

He will also choose boys' clothes.

He said, "I have a Brooks Brothers suit for sale for several years, but then you will be confined to the clothes of a little boy." Booker said.

The styles are all square, and the armholes are too narrow.

< /p >

< p > even if it is willing to spend money on "cutting taxes", it may not be effective.

Speaking of ready-made clothes, Spector said: "the proportion of clothes often has a lot of errors, such as the location of the pockets of Western casual clothes is not right."

< p > Imran Amed is the founder and editor of Business of Fashion of fashion news website, 5 feet 4 inches (about 1.63 meters) tall. Ahmed

"I think most brands and retailers are not aware of the size of the market," he said.

My problem is more serious. I am not only short, but also very thin.

The most frustrating thing is to find something that I like very much, but find it is not my number.

He said the paradise for short men is in Asia: "shopping in Tokyo is like a dream.

Everything fits and the quality is great.

If I can, I will go shopping in Tokyo every six months. "

For those who can't go to Tokyo, he recommends Band of Outsiders, Dior Homme, Topman and Acne, which will take into account the needs of smaller men more than of.

< p > the Playboy.com columnist Eliot Elliot (Elliot Aronow) of Huahua company website seems that a few years ago an unpleasant shopping experience fully showed the lack of service for the short customers in the shopping mall.

Arono said that if he had a good hairstyle, he was 5 feet 6 inches (about 1.68 meters) tall.

He said, "I was looking for a suit, and the salesman looked at me and said," are you a gymnast? If you have not guessed wrong, "Arono said, since then, he has become a" custom-made man ". Most of his suits are made from the Brooklyn Tailors tailor shop of Broolyn Clinton Hill (Clinton Hill) community.

< /p >

< p > this is not to say that businessmen have completely ignored their short customers.

Sax Eric, vice president and fashion director of Saks Fifth Avenue, Eric Jennings, said that because of the demand, he ordered about 15% of the small custom made garments of.

He also said that customers' demand for George, Giorgio, Armani, Burberry and Hugo Hugo (Boss Hugo) and other modern fashion brands of small size clothing is on the rise.

He said that this growth is not only because of the short customers, but because "men are more interested in self-cultivation."

Arono pointed out that the pformation of men's clothing to self-cultivation style actually has a positive spillover effect on short men.

He said: "now the Banana Republic (Banana Republic), J. Crew and Old Navy have begun to have smaller and thinner styles."

< /p >

P? Is that enough? Can this change the status quo? When Manning sees a man dressed badly, he will certainly not feel depressed.

Spector said, "short men who care about fashion may be few."
