Statement Trousers for the Holidays
As the holidays were nearing, we suggested a statement-making fabric from Dormeuil’s Celebration collection. It’s a fabric we know fairly well as we have used it before in the making of a festive suit. The cloth is rendered in black with a geometric pattern woven with a luxurious thread in a silver overcast.
The New Gothic Bespoke
This bespoke jacket was influenced both by the architecture of cathedrals as well as the installation art we have adorning the various floors of our house. The skeletal ribbed vaults and buttresses of stone echo in the ribbed channeling on the lapel, collars and pockets. The textile of the jacket is from Scabal in a Donegal worsted wool patterning, it offers a wonderful all season weight which is versatile and appropriate for many occasions and venues. When closely observing the jacket, it is rich in character and texture with red, white, gold and blue speckles which add depth to its blue base.
A Contemporary Custom Lab Coat
Dr. J, a Naturopathic doctor, came to Trend with a unique idea for a custom coat. This unique idea would be the collaboration of her profession and bespoke craftsmanship. Dr. J is an individual who believes that the people and places she surrounds herself with, the clothes she wears, the food she eats and how she practices medicine are all based upon principles of high-quality and customized care. The well-respected doctor wanted a piece that was an extension and expression of the aforementioned principles.
Dubee’s Da Vinci Jacket
This week we had the opportunity to work with young singer/songwriter and guitarist Lyric Dubee for some music-inspired clothing. In this first part, we feature his jacket in progress. Lyric has played the guitar since the age of 9. His clothing speaks to that passion with an embroidered skull with frats and head stocks on the cuffs and shoulders. The blue and green kaleidoscopic pattern mimics Houndstooth and is a youthful take on a vintage fabric in English worsted wool. The inside is half lined back with leather details in light blue and orange.
An Exquisite Occasion Suit
A.T. has returned to commission another wonderful piece this time out of fabric taken from Dormeuil’s ‘Celebration’ collection.
A Ravishing Suit For A Sikh Wedding, Part I
Today’s feature patron is one of our most expressive commissioners to date. He is a man who isn’t afraid of prints, patterns or standout colour.
A Ravishing Suit For A Sikh Wedding, Part II
Last month, we began working on a colourful and creative suit for a Sikh wedding. As mentioned in part I of this project, Sikh weddings are quite vibrant when it comes to decor and costume. With our client tired of modern men wearing simple black suits to such an expressive and traditional occasion, he decided to go against the grain and mix his modernism with a bit of traditional flair.
