Tailoring is one of the essential crafts whose origin goes back to Western Europe civilization. From early Medieval times—from 5th to 15th century—the importance of this craft was recognised, and guilds were established in large European towns. In 1100, King Henry confirmed the royal rights and privileges to the Tailors of Oxford. The tailors of Paris received their charter in 1293.

Craftsmanship & Personal Expression

Tailoring—the art of designing, cutting, fitting, and executing clothes—is a highly skilled craft. In the last centuries, it was more in demand as more people were more focused on developing personal style and having a personal choice of choosing the fabrics and colours of their outfits.

With the revolution of Fast Fashion, this skill is not highly on demand, but it is on demand once a person decides to build a wardrobe based on personal choices and styles.

The Secrets of the Cut

Cutting out a garment from material is the most important part of the tailor’s craft. In the last centuries, every company kept the pattern a secret, and they did not reveal it to the closest friend. Every tailor has a different style and vision; it is mostly based on the style the client demands, but it also must be adjusted and updated all the time.

Bringing Vision to Life

he goal of tailoring is to shape a vision of what the client wants, based on their vision of their ideal lifestyle. The latest trend in fashion is to look at vintage pieces and implement them into a daily wardrobe, or be inspired by the art of the tailors of previous generations and create beautiful pieces to wear every day.
