Recently completed this epic couture week collab! When fashion truly becomes a sculptural art form...

#repost via @mad_tailor_leather Wearable Art. The curse and the best part of my occupation is, that I’ve no idea of what’s next. It’s someone’s vision I try to see and make it happen. Plenty of experimenting and learning happened during that build. From making the custom dressform @mannequinmadness thank you finding me that Brazilian Rear End…..spine and ribs, to molding that heavy leather without any seams. Big Thank you to JR! @thefactory8 excellent development team and communication throughout the development. #fashion #artistsoninstagram #leatherart #couture #style #design #sketch #3d #tailor #craft #bulgaria #varna #montana #newyork #nfw #leatherartisan #jobdone

Throwback to conducting a fitting in our old space

Throwback to conducting a fitting in our old space. This was a first fit muslin, not an actual sample, so we chopped right on into it to get the right fit and drape the style required.

Rooting through the scraps bag, I found the abandoned beginnings of the original bodice section of the previous post’s dress...and had a fancy to turn her upside down...just for seeing... #process #design #designprocess #sketch #draping #moulage #modelist #3ddesign #handsewn #sewing #patternmaking #fashion #fashiondesign #womensfashion #womenswear #upsidedown #muslin #calico #corset #bodice

FullWeight Lynx Fabric coming fresh out of the finishing process! After our fabric is woven on the Jacquard loom, it’s off to finishing. Finishing our Fabric involves carbonizing, cleaning, napping, and sponging, all to make sure the fabric is exactly what it’s meant to be. Next up, sewing!

Such an incredible story highlighting the importance of domestic supply chains. The knowledge, fiber, and traditions required to make this fantastical cloth were simply not replaceable with exported mass production as history has shown.

#repost via @bbcfuture_official This fabulous cape is made from 19th-Century Dhaka muslin, which was once one of the most highly-prized fabrics in the world. Intricately handmade, it was a favourite of rulers across the globe. But the complicated process for making it has been forgotten, and the type of cotton that must be used has gone extinct. What happened to this elusive, beautiful fabric, and can we bring it back?

Love this breakdown! The end product is merely a series of smaller steps completed one after the other, each as important as the next, the sum of all the parts are what creates the beautiful final garment.

#repost via @mad_tailor_leather Tailoring is a term of how things are made. There is a high degree of hand finishing and inner construction, all applied with simple needle 🪡 and thread 🧵 techniques trough out the process. I use all those techniques often to create new Silhouette out of the “Box”. #tailor #tailoring #westerntailor #craft #tradition #wool #whitefish #montana
