Understated elegance

  • • Jennie creates one-of-a-kind bespoke suits
  • • She makes everything by hand herself
  • • She did an apprenticeship on Savile Row

When asked what makes a bespoke suit so special, Jennie Adamson speaks of the discrete elegance and confidence that a person wearing clothes uniquely made for them will radiate. More than the clothing itself, it is knowing they’re wearing something special that makes people carry themselves a little differently, and it’s that connection with the customer that Jennie loves. Having studied two different yet complimentary sides of tailoring, Jennie knows all there is to know about excellency: her apprenticeship as a bespoke tailor on Savile Row taught her the traditional way of working, while her studies in creative pattern cutting at Central Saint Martins University of Arts gave her the opportunity to develop her unique approach to making.
