Your Tailoring Academy
Worked with our forthcoming 2019 summer collection today. As usual I have to remember to make some parts here and there, continuously, throughout the weeks and months to enable it to grow. Making it all in a “last minute” stress thingy won’t do, at all, simply because it’s way too much included into the project to be able to make it that way. We do try to plan as much as possible.
Two days left and I have to hurry! The new jacket needs to get ready for this project’s 25th day. No time to waste!
Here are some progress images of my work today. The jacket is made in the same denim material and stitching color as my B2 Jeans, so I will end up having a compleat set. Here you can also see a clear view of all the counter seams, both from front and behind.
In summer season, when you go for strong silhouettes and good quality garments, you also want the colors to shine bright!
When planning your collection it’s important that your colors gives a strong message of coherence. The fabrics should not represent everything – they should tell your story!
Got these images refreshed for me this weekend. It’s from one of my former student’s work – actually it’s a part of his exam project at my academy. His name is Torbjörn Bergström. I think the garments are so beautiful and a perfect example of well cut and crafted tailoring. The inspiration was Art Deco and the model’s name is Mille. The pictures are from around the turn of the century.
5-1-1…? Or should I take 3-2-2…? How many times did I really wear that favorite ice-wash jacket? Will I really wear each garment exactly 100 times?
So many questions! I suddenly felt things was getting a bit confusing and difficult this morning, trying to keep track on both garments and combinations in the Thousand Days Of Hope And Glory project. Not to wear the same combination more than once for 1.000 days wasn’t all that easy-breezy after all. It was high time to make a list!
