I view style as an essential component of your individual brand and believe having a well-developed style leads to success in both personal and professional life.
PREFERENCES
Classics are key. Pair a beautiful cloth with classic styling and a customized fit. You'll create a look that will never go out of style - let the cloth and the fit do the talking.
RECREATION
Play up the season. A linen blazer with lightweight cotton chinos for a summertime rooftop glass of bubbly... a tweed sport jacket and moleskin trousers for an autumn evening dining al fresco. Have fun with the seasons and dress for the occasion.

Fit, personal style and functionality; creating garments that incorporate these three themes is my goal.
PREFERENCES
A bit of contrast to make garments unique; complimentary, classic customizations to make them timeless.
RECREATION
For weekend attire change things up by throwing on a deconstructed jacket, a linen button down and a pair of chinos. Bets on, heads will turn.
CHRISTINA PHAM
Washington DC Showroom
EMPHASIS
With over 4 years experience in the custom clothing industry, I concentrate on the shape and silhouette you prefer for your garments. Clothes should flatter your body and style is more about the overall effect of an outfit. Having an appreciation for quality, construction, and service I believe in Buying [certain pieces] for Life and as a former engineer, remember "Good, Fast, Cheap: Pick Two."
PREFERENCES
I have a respect for tradition and enjoy putting things together in new ways. My experiments take the form of small details, but I tend to recommend timeless customizations for versatility. Feeling confident in what you wear is important - get to know your style, wear colors you like, learn from others, and explore. There are some rules, once you learn them you can bend/break them.
RECREATION
One shouldn't have to sacrifice comfort to look well dressed. Dress for the occasion and just like you have different sides to your personality - that can translate through your clothes and how you wear them. I can help you look authentic, easy, and elegant in your clothes no matter the setting.

EMPHASIS
Having been a stylist for over 6 years, my clients can trust that they are in the best hands, not only when it comes to their wardrobe, but in knowing that I'm always going to do what's in the best interest for you.
PREFERENCES
Fit is first and foremost: it is what will make or break any outfit. After fit is practicality and personality! It's so important to dress for your environment, but still stay true to who you are. Right now it is so important to have those staple pieces that will be comfortable for a WFH day and will make it easy to dress with confidence when we're finally able to step out into the world again!
RECREATION
I think for men and women alike, the right "third piece" is everything. Whether it be a deconstructed sportcoat, a bomber jacket or a well-worn military jacket, the right piece can instantly elevate your look and make you look in control of your style, wherever you are.

With three years of experience as a stylist, my clients can trust that I will always do what's best for their wardrobe and style. I believe clothes are an essential component of one's brand, and having a well-developed style can help both your personal and professional life.
PREFERENCES
Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not caring what people think. I have a love for classic looks and finding new ways to mix modern with traditional. My goal; creating one-of-a-kind pieces that will never go out of style, while letting the fabric and fit do the talking.
RECREATION
A "third piece" layer is everything to me. Whether it be a casual blazer or a bomber jacket, the right piece can instantly elevate your look and make you look effortlessly stylish, wherever you are.
