Orhan London Tailoring
Nothing to wear?
You’d love a little something from Bond Street. If only the price tag weren’t so laughable.
Orhan Kaplanbasoglu could be the answer. Give this reputable Turkish tailor a favourite garment (with or without your own fabric) or show him a magazine picture of something you’re in love with (but can’t afford). He’ll copy it and make it fit like a glove. He also has his own range of classic suits and dresses that can be made up in any material.
Kaplanbasoglu creates a calico template during an initial fitting; a week later, your custom outfit is ready. Of course, going down the bespoke route isn’t cheap. At around £200 for a cocktail dress, it’s an investment, but you won’t find anyone else sporting the same piece.
And when it’s mistaken for the designer must-have of the season, you can simply smile.
Who’s in stitches now?
