THE IRISH TIMES
The Irish in Savile row
Husband and wife team Ruby Slevin and Rocco Tullio (son of the late restaurant owner and critic Paolo Tullio) have just taken a leap into the hallowed world of Savile Row in London.
Both have backgrounds in fashion, tailoring, art and design and launched their brand Slevin and Tullio earlier this year. Slevin studied fashion and completed her training in Savile Row while Tullio studied fine art in Florence and has worked as a contemporary artist and designer ever since.
Their work is shaped by the combination of precise tailoring with an artistic aesthetic and their aim is to transcend seasons with handcrafted clothing made with long-lasting heritage fabrics. Luxurious overcoats, clean-cut tailoring and timeless separates are all handstitched in the traditional Savile Row manner, but aimed at women. Many pieces derive their inspiration from the work of John Singer Sargent.
Prices for handmade jackets start at £700 with suits from £900, waistcoats from £300 and linen shirts £180. Find them at 13 Savile Row, London or visit bansheeofsavilerow.com
