BESPOKE JACKET

IN THE FALL 2025, A NEW COURSE WAS OFFERED TITLED "TAILORING FOR FASHION DESIGN" LED BY PROFESSOR ALEXANDER PLOKHOV. IN THIS COURSE, WE WERE SHOWN THE TRADITIONAL METHODS AND TECHNIQUES TO BESPOKE TAILORING, AND GUIDED TO CONSTRUCT A TAILORED JACKET WITHIN THE 10-WEEK COURSE.

​

THROUGH THE DURATION OF THE COURSE, I WAS TAUGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF BASTING, DETAILED CONSTRUCTION, AND OVERALL CONSTRUCTION OF A GARMENT, AND MY KNOWLEDGE GREW IN INTERLININGS, HANDSTITCHING TECHNIQUES, AND MORE. FROM THIS COURSE, I CREATED A BESPOKE JACKET MADE OUT OF FELTED WOOL SUITING, FIT FOR A SIZE 38 MEN'S.
