A sharp, slightly extended shoulder provides the initial platform for Riccardo Tisci’s elongated silhouette, the sleeve falls smoothly from this shoulder, finishing at the hemline. The narrowed collar and high lapel also assist in achieving the desired rectangular shape. After constructing our calico toiles yesterday I am rapidly gaining a huge amount of respect for the highly refined technique of tailoring. Our lecture on fusing has also drawn my attention to the exceptionally crisp, smooth form within the body of the garment. The opening of the jacket rigidly sits precisely in place and lapel rolls beautifully in a heightened manner at the break point. Can this structural appearance be attributed to fusing alone, or would further internal measures need to be taken? The perfectly parallel hemline provides visual reference for the positioning of the jetted pockets (one, from what I can make out, has a flap), their wide placement upon the jacket is also significant in creating the overall desired look. Upon initial glance this may appear to be a rather mundane garment, however upon closer inspection the consideration within becomes apparent. How has such precision been created?
