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.
Timing your work can be extremely stressful. Do you add some extra time to make it perfect, do you just stop and accept the result, or do you distribute the time at hand for a more even process?
Mathematical projects can be so unemotional. You make a plan. You follow the rules. Success is then within reach. How hard can it be? Enter, feelings.
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.
While spring slowly turns into summer, at some point, I usually feel the need for a thorough clean-up! And that was today! The daylight gets brighter, the sun rises higher, and all colors just pop-up everywhere – everything suddenly seems so full of life! And that’s when it all needs a fresh back-drop.
