In conclusion to our series of individual profiles, we present to you this atmospheric group photograph featuring a range of pieces from the Stewart Christie archive collection.
Over the course of this shoot not only did we have great fun; the energy and enthusiasm generated by the gathering of such creative and inspirational people proved empowering for us at this exciting time.
Whilst some might question our choice of female models sporting bespoke garments first commissioned for patrician Establishment figures, the team styling this shoot is giving out a key message – that we remain proud of our heritage and tradition, but look to the future; continuing to blend excellence with innovation for those savvy dressers – male and female – looking for the best.
Our mission is to continue to celebrate the tradition of Scottish tailoring, textiles and design. With our long history, we see it as our duty to nurture Scottish tailoring, of which there is now so little left, through using our highly trained staff. In due course we aspire to engage and foster new talent in learning the skills and art that makes a qualified tailor through apprenticeship and careful career development.
Our wish is to remain true to our heritage and loyal clientele, whilst introducing a new generation to the skills and craftsmanship of bespoke tailoring and quality products. With our emphasis on using Scottish and other British cloths from our greatest mills, coupled with attention to detail, classic tailoring and quality and provenance of manufacture we are confident of introducing our brand to a new generation of customers – customers who are seeking an authentic experience in a clothing market swamped with mass produced derivative goods.
Our supporting stock ranges of knitwear, formalwear, sporting clothing and accessories will complement this, being sourced only from trusted suppliers committed to helping us achieve our goals of quality, value, authenticity and taste.
We look forward to introducing our future collections to you, and thank you as ever for your ongoing support!
