TO CUT

Letter T made of black fabric with gold lining, embroidery and a loose gold thread by THE TAILOR, Ikorodu, Lagos

They say “tailor” comes from the Latin taliare. To cut.

Fine. Make we cut.

Kings have come and gone. Trends have come and gone.

The tailor? E still dey hold thread.

TWO NAMES

The designer will show you a sketch.

The tailor will tell you, “Raise your hand. Stand straight. Don’t breathe in.”

Me? I do both.

THE STORY

Black senator outfit opened in layers, with gold embroidered panel and gold lining by THE TAILOR, Ikorodu, Lagos

The Story

The backend of every garment.

Anyone can make cloth look fine in a photo. Turn it inside out.

  1. 01 Origin

    Taliare

    Centuries before social media, great houses dressed royalty by hand. Labels change; the needle stays.

  2. 02 Standard

    Inside Out

    Clean seams, balanced shoulders, and canvas that holds its form long after the party ends.

  3. 03 Craft

    The Guarantee

    Where design stops at a drawing, master tailoring shapes real fabric to a living body.

The Designer

Chases the crowd.

THE TAILOR
