singaporean former designer and one of a kind artist,<br />

schooled by tradition and driven by the need to<br />

create. his love for music, photography, and art is<br />

translated into sumptuous collections of garments<br />

and accessories, designed and made for anyone<br />

who can appreciate quality, high standards, creativity<br />

and detail into even the simplest item of<br />

clothing. kevin’s approach to any commission is<br />

always done in a meticulous way, embracing artisanal<br />

qualities, evident in his attention to detail<br />

and to the needs of the client, but also bringing to<br />

light material’s aesthetic peculiarities completing<br />

the trinity of a kevin seah piece: artisan, designer,<br />

wearer. seah’s work is usually characterized by a<br />

transversal process allowing customers to adapt to<br />

this tailor-client relationship, well known to people<br />

and habitués from the “made to measure” world<br />

but somehow awkward for a first-time bespoke client.<br />

being a truly customer-oriented atelier, kevin<br />

embodies the belief that the construction of a suit<br />

is a truly collaborative enterprise, jointly undertaken<br />

by tailor and client. “the tailor needs time to<br />

understand the customer lifestyle and preferences<br />

and keep in mind, consumer tastes may change<br />

overtime”. k.s. bespoke suits are unfused, assembled<br />

and finished entirely by hand, taking between<br />

three to four months to complete, depending on<br />

the number of adjustments and details required.<br />

Fabrics used on the garments are sourced and<br />

curated from premier english and italian mills.<br />

Clients can select from a catalogue of more than<br />

500 fabrics including silks, linens, wools, cottons<br />

and cashmeres. additionally to bespoke commis-<br />

sions, kevin collaborates with contemporary and<br />

emerging outstanding artists from around the<br />

world, allowing a classic/contemporary dialogue<br />

and creating a synergy that few traditional tailors<br />

dare to even try.<br />

“…i would like kevin seah bespoke to be a place<br />

for everyone. whether you come as a couple or<br />

alone, young or old, traditional or more daring, i’d<br />

like to think you can come here and find exactly<br />

what you need”.<br />
