Savile Row
On 23 December 1912, Hawkes &amp; Co. bought №1 Savile Row from the Royal Geographical Society for £38,000, in part because the firm had dressed so many explorers. In 1974, Gieves Ltd acquired Hawkes &amp; Co., and the freehold of 1 Savile Row. The company was renamed Gieves &amp; Hawkes. In 2009, Kathryn Sargent of Gieves and Hawkes became the first female head cutter in Savile Row.
