At regular speed, it sounds like "L'architetto è l'uomo colla camicia bianca." If I'm not mistaken, that combination of "con" and "la" can be found in older literature. Is it acceptable today?

It has fallen out of use in the written language, but it can be still heard, since "cólla" is quicker to pronounce than "con la".
