The bespoke Bespoke Shirt

Jump to Comments

How is it September so soon?! The summer flew by too quickly, but I managed to pack a lot into the time. One project I loved being involved with was this one…

Mark - Lucy's Shirt 1

A young fabric designer, Miss Eleanor Domm, emailed me to ask if I would consider making a shirt out of one of her designs for her good friend who was getting married. I leapt at the chance, and she got to printing whilst I made a fitting for the chap concerned. A few weeks later we met again with the fabric, it was truly stunning and I gave it to the workshop to be made under strict instruction to be VERY careful with it!

A month later the shirt arrived and it really is the most unique one I’ve ever seen let alone had made. Mark, it’s new owner even agreed to be photographed by Ellie and her friends at Tino&Pip Photography, these are the results. I love creating things that have a meaning or special reasoning to them, this is certainly a great example of that, a truly unique present I am sure you will agree.

The best part of meeting Ellie is that we have lots of opportunity to make future collaborations, of which we are already in talks. In the meantime if you would like your own bespoke bespoke shirt, with either a unique fabric designed my Miss Domm or one of your own then do ping me an email – shirts@lucyadams.co.uk

Ellie’s blog is here and rather lovely it is too.
