I first acquired my skills in garmenting at college in Yorkshire, whilst studying fashion design and pattern cutting, before moving to London for my degree. Whilst studying Bespoke Tailoring at London College of Fashion, I won the Upcoming Design Talent Award and the Shaftesbury PLC Tailoring Award for my BA degree. I graduated with First Class Honours. I began my tailoring career at Huntsman, where I further developed my skills in cutting over the course of a traditionally-structured apprenticeship under the Head-Cutter and Creative Director. I now have my own business Dobrik & Lawton, with my business partner Joshua Dobrik, which is a forward-thinking bespoke house. It pushes the boundaries of typical Savile Row suiting by combining traditional techniques with a contemporary couture aesthetic. With a love for Art Deco and the avant-garde, our creations have a modern touch combined with echoes of historical elegance. A team of carefully selected craftsmen and craftswomen, all experts in their respective fields, work to create the finest bespoke pieces for the entirety of one’s wardrobe, from suiting to nightwear.
