The Tailory New York is an appointment-only, women-owned and operated bespoke clothing company that combines modern fashion design with the heritage art of custom tailoring. We stand firmly in the belief and knowledge that suiting is genderless and caters in equal measure to men, women, and non-binary individuals.

Custom suiting either fulfills or subverts societal expectations by communicating a self-determined personal image to the world around us. We wield the power of fashion design to meet the singular needs of each of our clients, particularly those in the LGBTQIA+ community, which sets us apart from other custom clothiers.

The Tailory New York’s clients are bold, ambitious, and accomplished. We create meticulously tailored pieces that incorporate each individual’s unique preferences and lifestyle. This serves as an instrument for self-affirmation and self-empowerment.

We are also firm proponents of the modular wardrobe philosophy, where each of the custom pieces we design with our clients can be mixed and matched to create fresh new looks without buying additional items to supplement their wardrobe. We save our clients time thinking about what to wear in the morning, and they always look impossibly stylish.

The Tailory New York was founded by Parsons graduate Shao Yang in October 2013. Yang’s keen sense of fashion, coupled with her unparalleled tech and design skills, allows her to create looks for both men, women, and nonbinary individuals. Since the Tailory opened its doors in New York, it has become a mecca for the LGBTQIA+ community.

At Tailory, we work with the finest textile innovators who vet and work closely with the farmers and throughout the factories to ensure we fully stand behind our productions methods from farm, to fiber, to final finishing
