He always finds it rewarding to make something beautiful that can be worn.
He is able to make everything from the pattern to sewing the piece,
that may be a corset or a mans suit.
He is able to create pieces from a variety of materials
that include the lightest chiffon to the heaviest leather.
With these skills he is able to make special commissioned pieces
that may come from private individuals, stylists and leading magazine editors.
He has been very lucky to have worked
with such wonderful magazines recently
as Italian and French Vogue, Numero , American Harpers Bazaar and of course British EllE.
He has worked on many celebrity lead projects
making clothes for such beautiful women as Dita Von Tease , Christina Agualira , and our own Dame Judy Dench.
Rather than thinking of himself as a designer, he would prefer to call himself a maker.
