GOLDEN - ERA TAILORING

With a return to the 1920’s golden era of fine tailoring and couture, designer Alicya Sinclair presents ‘Eliott’. A story of two sisters forced into selling the family home to survive and fulfil their passion: to be the finest dressmakers in town. With this in mind, the collection has been designed to highlight the true elegance and beauty of a woman. Using soft, warm, neutral colours crafted in cotton blends, double crepes, chiffons and light wools with accents of azure blue and crimson red. 

Sinclair London is a heritage brand headed up by Creative Director Alicya Sinclair who started her tailoring career at 16 at a placement at Ozwald Boateng. Finishing her three-year apprenticeship at No 19 Savile Row.

Now she specialises in women’s tailoring, and is the first female Savile Row trained tailor to launch a women’s only tailoring brand. In 2013 she became a first-time finalist at the Golden Shears award, the industry’s Oscars for tailoring.

And so ‘Eliott’, Alicya’s second collection, keeps true to her SavileRow roots, with pieces delicately made, clean defined lines and the use of gentle ruffles, strong tailored silhouettes, simple and beautiful suits. “We’re not trying to change the world, we only dress the women who do!”
