Fashfest 2014: Designer Review – Braddon Tailors
I am kicking off my in-depth reviews of the Fashfest 2014
menswear collections with Braddon Tailors, as this was the first Menswear
collection shown.
The photos for this post were generously provided by the amazing Ash from Silque Photography and Design.
I really enjoyed meeting Pip and Tarun before Fashfest
kicked off for the year, and learning about their business and what it offers
Canberra was a highlight of the year so far for me. I was really excited to see
what the boys had in store for their runway show.
Braddon Tailors showed 9 looks, a mix of corporate,
casual and luxe suiting and denim wear. There were 7 men’s and 2 women’s looks, all
done in polished perfection, as one would expect from Canberra’s premier tailors.
The men’s and women’s denim suits were especially good,
showcasing the Braddon Tailor’s commitment to fine tailoring, luxe fabrics and fighting
back against off-the-rack cuts that neither flatter nor support the body.
Pip and Tarun really showed that they are a force to be
reckoned with on the Canberra Menswear scene. The looks that they showed were
sleek and polished, but interesting. This was not the soulless suit-hire catalogue that you
flicked through ahead of your twelfth-grade formal before ultimately picking
the same tux as your mates.
Special mention has to be made of the amazing neckwear
supplied by Henry Carter for the show. The wool/silk neckties and pure silk
scarves were the perfect accent to this collection. In fact, my favourite look
of the whole collection was the model who wore shorts and short-sleeves with a
beautiful Henry Carter silk scarf. It was so effortlessly chic, I can’t wait to
try something similar myself.
These are clothes that challenge you to be the best dresses
man (or woman) that you can be; and the boys from Braddon Tailors are the
perfect guides to get you there.
