The exceptional level of bespoke tailoring talent in the UK can be seen across the length and breadth of Savile Row this week with a number of our members and neighbours displaying the work of Golden Shears finalists in their windows.
The exhibition runs until Saturday 27th September and forms a part of the Golden Shears 50th anniversary celebrations. Established in 1974, the biannual competition is open to apprentices and fashion students throughout the UK. Finalists are judged on the technical and creative merit of their work by tailoring experts and a celebrity style panel. Many of the finalists have served apprenticeships on Savile Row and have proceeded to practise their craft here.
Displays can be seen at Savile Row Bespoke Association (SRBA) members Dege & Skinner, Gieves & Hawkes, Henry Poole (pictured, bottom), Huntsman (pictured, middle) and Norton & Sons.
And, in addition, The London Academy of Bespoke (the official training partner of the SRBA, pictured top) is showcasing the work of a number of other Golden Shears entrants.
