The Shirt:
The shirt is a triumph of modern life, like the automobile or the Internet.
It is easy to put on and take off, quick to wash and easy to store. A man should own as many shirts as he wishes – the more the better.

"I prefer shirts with two pleats on the shoulder because I think that it generates harmony on the body of a man. With shirts, you can do what you want, but you must always create harmony in everything.
For day, I prefer light blue striped shirts more than anything. For evening, you are simply a frame for the beautiful woman beside you. Black with a white shirt is fantastic - never too much, never too little.
Having lots of shirts will allow you to surprise yourself with your own good taste."

The Tie:
The tie follows the culture. In the 50’s, Barbera wore a bowtie. In the 60’s - Windsor. In the 70’s, he went open-necked. In the 80’s - a big, aggressive knot. Now Luciano Barbera find that what I want is a less fussed-over knot with soft pleating.

"I think of ties as pieces of elegance that distinguish one man from the next. It is all about harmony and detail.
I personally like knit ties because they are fresh, different and easy to style. But believe me when I say that I own thousands of ties. Whenever I wear a new tie, my suits are reborn.
I think that every man should have one hundred if not one thousand ties." - explained the tailor.
