Bespoke Tailoring: MONEY TALKS x Huntsman
My latest project is about the hypocrisy found in the judicial system when it comes the to unfair treatment between those who have and those who have not. Those who have, are precieved as those who made a mistake and should be given a second chance whereas the story differs for those who have not as they are precieved as washed up and the system turn them into examples.
Looking at judges in court which inspired me to make this long coat with a high collar and double sleeves because I want to illustrate that those of authority shouldn't be able to hide behind the law. They cover it up with "the law is the law," but they have blood on their hands too as they are known for taking bribes from those who have. That is hypocrisy.
PERCEIVED PERFECTION x SCABAL
This project explores perceived perfection and how idealised values can distort reality due to human perception.
Rooted in utopian dress codes, biblical narratives, it reflects on perfection as something lost rather than achievable.
Through blue tailoring and denim, I explore structure vs fluidity, tradition vs disruption, and the beauty found in imperfection.
Awards
This project explored the future of bespoke tailoring through the lens of evolving dress codes and contemporary identity. Responding to changing social and professional landscapes, the collection examined how tailoring can adapt to modern lifestyles shaped by fluidity, self-expression, sustainability, and cultural change. Developed in collaboration with Scabal, the project balanced traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design thinking to propose a new vision of modern dress.
