Boy with inflatable… Portugal August 2019

Rather enjoying our unapologetically bold & slightly Brutalist resort hotel. It’s essentially a long, disjointed rectangle 6 storey’s high but there’s a hint of JG Ballard’s High Rise in this place…

I always forget to mention, but there’s stuff going on in the jackets we make that is hidden - we lightly interline to give them a little support & body and they are also cut with a fitted shoulder. We don’t put in shoulder pads, but sew in a lightweight shoulder roll into the sleeve head and reinforce the shoulder area. Well-cut shoulders & sleeves are super important to me and the aesthetic I am trying to create; if done well, they make the wearer look and feel fantastic. This is a lifetime’s work!
