Inspirational tailoring

Paul Smith is probably the most interesting when it comes to tailoring, his crazy twist on classic tailoring makes his clothes so much more fun and young and fresh. Similar to Aquascutum, the details make his garments so much more perfect and changing them all the time, keeps his designs fresh. 

Colour...











































...Print....























































































I love those details that Paul Smith uses, the randomly placed, numerous button holes on the lapels, the different sizes and shapes of the lapels, the linings etc. They make Paul Smith's clothes unique and they add a signature touch.

Stella McCartney
I adore Stella McCartney's take on tailoring, its minimal, clean, oversized, masculine, everything this project is about! So its really inspiring. I mostly like the bold, large silhouettes and simple details, all focus is on the shape. The jackets are made of stunning fabrics, prints and colours, with a masculine vs feminine take on tailoring.






























Extremely low break points, simple colours, luxorious fabrics, bold prints and bold shapes may be quite minimal, but they create something that stands out.

Hackett
Hackett alongside Aquascutum is quintessentially British, creating classic and timeless menswear. It has retained this traditional look, with a whole range of collections, for summer wear, formalwear, informal wear etc.































I like the simple, fitted silhouette, its very British. The fabrics are also stunning, the tweeds and checks add a truly British touch and a bit of colour and fun.

Ozwald Boateng
Ozwald Boateng is not as old as some of the previous companies, however he has really created his signature style and has made an impact on the tailoring world. His extremely sharp suits combined with his dramatic choice of bold colours creates something so classic, but new.




























A perfectly simple, sharp, tailored look that Ozwald Boateng creates is really inspiring. He focusses on shape, colour, fabric, and details such as lapels and pockets, all of which are really important to a tailored jacket.
