Description

It is run by its founder and director Zlata Ksen. Clients can visit the workroom, or book a tailor to come to a home or hotel anywhere in London for a fitting, with collection and drop-off, which suits busy households, hotel guests and anyone with a deadline.
Couture training, everyday alterations
Zlata Ksen trained at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and worked for design houses in New York and London before opening the atelier with her mother. The team assembled 30 couture panels for the Dress Codes exhibition at Kensington Palace, and the client list runs from Harrods and Harvey Nichols to Zegna and the London Palladium. The same workroom takes up a pair of jeans from £25 and blind-hems trousers from £30. Invisible mending of moth holes starts from £10, and leather, real and faux fur, beaded, stretch and waterproof fabrics are all accepted, the pieces many alterations counters turn away. Garments can be rebuilt, copied pattern for pattern or restored when vintage. A fitting at the atelier is free, and the final quote follows it.
