Bespoke Tailoring
BA · University of the Arts, London · 3 years
About this course
Bespoke tailoring is one of the most exacting and historically prestigious crafts in fashion, demanding the ability to construct garments to fit an individual body with precision and skill. The bespoke tradition, centred historically on London's Savile Row and the broader British tailoring trade, involves taking a client's measurements, constructing a personal pattern, hand-cutting the cloth, and building a garment through successive fittings until it fits perfectly. In an era of mass production, bespoke tailoring represents the craft tradition at its highest level of refinement, and the ability to make garments in this way is a genuinely rare skill. At the London College of Fashion, part of the University of the Arts London, you will study bespoke tailoring over three years full-time in one of the world's leading fashion institutions.
