There’s something special about seeing a collection come to life; when fabric, form and personality meet the lens. Our latest photo shoot was exactly that: a celebration of craftsmanship, collaboration and creative energy, showcasing our newest made-to-measure menswear and the exciting evolution of our womenswear tailoring.
A Brutalist Backdrop with Creative Heritage
The shoot took place at Silver Space Studios, a professional photography and film studio set within the striking Brutalist architecture of the former Carlsberg Tetley HQ. Now home to renowned London-born designer Craig Green and set designers Box Deluxe The building provided an uncompromising, architectural canvas that perfectly complemented the structure, texture and refinement of our tailoring.
Models with Creative Substance
As always, we’re proud to work with models who do more than wear the clothes, they share our passion for creativity and individuality.
Our menswear was showcased by Manish Puri, columnist for Permanent Style and a respected voice in contemporary menswear. Through his Instagram account @the_daily_mirror, Manish has built a reputation for effortlessly blending classic tailoring with relaxed, modern styling — making him a natural fit for this collection.
Our womenswear was brought to life by Nettie Wakefield, an accomplished illustrator celebrated for her meticulous draughtsmanship and hyper-realistic pencil drawings. Nettie’s artistic eye and quiet confidence brought depth and character to our womenswear tailoring, reflecting exactly what we aim to offer women: precision, strength and elegance.
Menswear: Texture, Ease and Quiet Confidence
Manish’s looks explored relaxed silhouettes, rich textures and thoughtful layering — all cut and made from scratch, to his individual specifications.
Highlights included:
-
A green glencheck wool jacket, paired with grey flannel trousers and a heavy striped Oxford button-down.
-
A softly tailored oatmeal Shetland wool jacket, showcasing the fabric’s beautiful texture and natural drape.
-
A relaxed ensemble featuring a long oversized double-breasted overcoat, wide-leg pleated flannels and a soft cashmere zip hoodie.
-
A slubbed wool herringbone double-breasted overcoat from Loro Piana, layered over a pure cashmere zip hoodie and camel-toned flannel trousers.
-
A cashmere cable-knit roll neck paired with a baby camel hair gilet, designed for effortless autumnal layering.
-
A black baby camel hair made-to-measure gilet, worn with a custom cashmere cable knit, washed high-rise black denim and Alden penny loafers.
Each look balanced structure with comfort — tailoring designed to move, layer and live in.
Womenswear: Strength, Elegance and Modern Tailoring
Our womenswear tailoring continues to grow, offering the same made-to-measure precision and fabric excellence that defines our menswear.
Nettie wore:
-
A dark grey glencheck suit with subtle red deco accents, cut from luxurious Fox Brothers milled wool — timeless, confident and refined.
-
A rich green velvet jacket by Loro Piana, combining depth of colour with elegant structure.
-
An off-white Loro Piana wool suit featuring a fine, sparkly chalk stripe — a quiet shimmer that elevates classic tailoring.
-
A pure kid mohair tuxedo by Dugdale Brothers, delivering sharp lines and striking formal sophistication.
Each piece was designed to empower the wearer while maintaining softness, balance and wearability.
The Team Behind the Lens
The shoot was captured by Rod Lockyer, an exceptional Brighton-based fashion and portrait photographer and art director, whose eye for detail and atmosphere brought the collection to life.
Styling was led by our Head Tailor Lloyd Stratton, with over a decade of made-to-measure expertise, alongside our Tailor and Art Director Issy Brightmore, a Kingston University fashion design graduate with extensive experience working across leading studios and designers. Together, they ensured every silhouette, proportion and detail was considered — down to the last button and fold.
This shoot represents what Tailor Made London stands for: considered design, exceptional fabrics, and tailoring that reflects the individuality of the people who wear it. Whether menswear or womenswear, every piece begins from scratch — made to measure, made with purpose, and made to last.
