Tailoring Where Luxury Meets Innovation

Text: Lucie Krůčková

The moment you step inside the Blažek Tailoring Atelier, a sense of calm and ease surrounds you. It feels like paying a visit to good friends. Within a second you forget the bustle of the big city beyond the atelier's walls as well as the tension at work. Here, you are the centre of the universe. And only one rule applies: leave stress and haste outside the door for a while. Let us therefore pay a visit to the new Blažek Tailoring Atelier in the very heart of Prague.

Although the atelier has unusually generous spaces, they are designed so that everyone feels as comfortable as possible. The atelier is not one large open salon; rather, it returns to the intimacy of old-school tailoring. The space itself will draw you into the ease that prevails here. Do not resist it.

The location of the new atelier is the result of a search for balance. The place itself enjoys excellent access by metro and tram. The centre of Prague's activity is right around the corner. At the same time, however, it provides sufficient calm for creative work. As a bonus, you can park your car directly in the building's garages. Clients thus need not lose time or nerves searching for a parking space.

At the beginning stands the decision that you need a bespoke suit, jacket or shirt. The reasons may vary greatly, from a love of original pieces to a non-standard sportsman's build. And even if you are not entirely sure what exactly to ask for, experienced professionals will assist you. They are like guides through the mysterious world of luxurious materials and impeccably fitting cuts. Place yourself in their hands and allow yourself to be led.

And the first rule is that the client and his needs come first. Your new clothing is meant to serve you, to be comfortable and to fit perfectly into your life. That is why the entire process of creating a bespoke suit or jacket begins with a conversation. A friendly conversation with a professional over a cup of coffee, at the end of which the client's needs and wishes are clearly specified, along with the chosen material for the suit, jacket or, for instance, shirt. Your new wardrobe piece must not only fit you and represent you. It should also respect your personality.

In the interplay of fabrics, materials and cuts there are no opponents. The client and the tailor are partners who pursue a common goal. That goal is a flawlessly fitting outfit. Clothing that will be perfect both for the chosen occasion and for your personality. As an added bonus, future work is simplified. Next time you return to the atelier, your tailor will already know you and the entire process will be significantly faster.

The business dress code has clearly defined rules. You can indulge yourself in the choice of material, but otherwise it does not offer many opportunities for self-expression. There is, however, one way to let your spirited self come through. And that is the details. Details will turn your business suit into a unique original. Confide in your tailor about what you like to wear in "civvies". You may be surprised how many opportunities to express your creative self bespoke suits offer.

Many materials look quite different in artificial light than in daylight. Women know this fact well, which is why they often step outside boutiques to check the colour of a dress or blouse. The space on Nekázanka Street allows us to present fabrics to you in natural daylight, yet in the intimacy of our own space, undisturbed by the street. The choice between patterns and colours thus becomes a little easier.

Your friends can talk for hours about how wonderful it is to have a bespoke suit made. What comfort it gives them and how it has boosted their confidence. They can assure you that the entire process of designing the outfit and choosing the material is a hundred times more pleasant than standing helplessly among racks of ready-to-wear. Their experience, however, cannot be transferred. But you can let yourself be inspired and experience it for yourself. At Nekázanka 11 the professionals of the Blažek Tailoring Atelier are waiting for you.
