Bespokin it

Today we were able to have to opportunity to visit a bespoke tailor shop, Thom Sweeny. Matthew Gonzalez, a former OCC student, was cool enough to give us a personal guide of his place of work. It was very inspiring to see a student from the states make a carear in fashion out her in London because we all now that is not an easy task to accomplish. I loved the shop, even though it was tiny as hell, it was just so damn cool with all the photos of the celebirties scattered across the walls. They had photos of everyone from Martin Scorsese to Mohammad Ali. It was cool to listen to Matthew explain how every suit they make is custom made perfectly to fit the individual like a glove. It definitily made me start itching for a Thom Sweeny suit thats forsure.
