Thomas Tait

  • Architectural tailoring
  • Precise cutaways
  • Sculptural volume

Canadian designer Thomas Tait completed his master's degree at Central Saint Martins at 21 and presented his debut London collection in 2010. His exacting patternmaking creates rounded volume and architectural cutaways without relying on stiff synthetic fabrics; later work brought intricate textile development and Japanese craft references into his clean silhouettes.
