OUR story

The Tailory New York was founded in 2013 out of a desire to reimagine tailoring for a new era—one where suiting is liberated from outdated rules and redefined as an act of personal expression. Inspired by her own search for impeccable fit and empowered style, founder Shao Yang set out to build an appointment-only studio where individuality comes first, and everyone is welcome.

What began as a passion for fashion design and a love of classic menswear evolved into a mission: to create a safe, affirming space where all clients—regardless of gender, identity, or background—can experience the confidence of a perfectly tailored suit. Drawing from a heritage of bespoke craftsmanship, The Tailory New York blends modern design with time-honored techniques, meticulously crafting each garment to reflect the unique vision and needs of its wearer.

From the start, our ethos has been simple: suiting is genderless, style is self-determined, and every wardrobe should be designed with only you in mind. We believe that tailoring is more than fit; it is about honoring individuality and building confidence through clothing that feels as authentic as it looks.

Our journey has been guided by the trust of clients from all walks of life—those who value thoughtful design, precision fit, and a process built on respect. From intimate design consultations and over 45 meticulous measurements to the final fitting, we make the custom experience both seamless and deeply personal.

Today, The Tailory New York stands as a pioneer of inclusive tailoring—serving bold thinkers, creative visionaries, and anyone seeking to tell their story through clothing. As the world continues to evolve, so do we, always honoring the traditions of the craft while championing innovation, diversity, and the power of self-expression.
