……………….I love designing jackets……..I learned tailoring and fitting from the best!……So many young students, and for that matter young designers are ill-equipped when it comes to their knowledge of tailoring. They expect their sample assistants to know how to bring their sketches to life………Then you must express to them what you want the garment to look like, and you must know as much as possible……especially when you are not a good illustrator, which many designers are not……KNOWLEDGE is POWER!……Here are four very different jackets…….From left to right…..a slouchy shirt jacket….a retro “dress” jacket….and two piped jackets with very different silhouettes.
