In this constant state of adjustment, certain garments take on a stabilising role. Rather than responding to change, they remain consistent, allowing everything else to move around them. Tailoring, when used in this way, becomes a fixed point in an otherwise changing outfit. This approach reframes how traditional suits are understood.…
