A tailor. An engineer.
An aficionado of bespoke tailoring.
I still think like an engineer. I learned precision, attention to detail, the ability to design 3D shapes and how to deal with uncertainties early on in my career. A tailor now, these things still guide me. So Tailoring is the art in Engineering is not just a slogan, it’s the way I think. At London College of Fashion, then at Central Saint Martins, then again at London Academy of Bespoke, I saw how most of my engineering state of mind was a transferable skill.
The techniques used in traditional tailoring are the highest standard and nothing fits like something that has been measured, cut and made only for you. Ordering bespoke means your preferences shape the garment I make. When we discuss your order, we translate the image in your head to a flat drawing, then into a garment out of a cloth of your choice using the same methods and techniques as practised along Savile Row. Even luxury cars are still mass-produced with standard parts, but your suit will be unique.
Despite upholding the traditions of British tailoring craft, I am keen to adopt new technologies and innovations in either tools or fabrics. I use British fabrics, techniques, suppliers and I make everything here in Britain.
Your professionalism, knowledge, tone of voice, posture and manners are your professional tools which help you achieve in life. Just like those tools, your dress and physical appearance is too.
If you know how you wish to be seen but can’t find it to buy from a magazine or on a clothes hanger anywhere, then get in touch and we’ll discuss what suits you. Your own personality carries the best clues to what outfit, colour, pattern and style will serve the purposes you have in mind.
