BA (Hons) Bespoke Tailoring
Bespoke tailoring graduate trained in both men's and women's wear. Work reflects an appreciation of quality, fit and attention to detail. The garments are all fitted and tailored to the models. The theme for the collection is the forest, as it appears depicted in folk tales and in our collective memory: mysterious, eternal, dark, romantic and inhabited by spirits. It also draws upon the epoch when the stories were recorded, the 19th century, and the contemporary context where the collection is created. Winner of the Best Tuxedo Award, a competition to reinvent the traditional tuxedo, arranged by London College of Fashion and Henry Poole & Co, March 2011. Fabric sponsored by Dormeuil. Model Lorna Nickson-Brown.
