Bluesuits Collection designed by a woman who understands a woman’s body and wardrobe needs

Jamak Khazra the designer of Bluesuits Collection launched the collection after having dressed over 10,0000 women who could not find appropriate styles and fits in the stores. Bluesuits several styles of jackets, pants, skirts, dressers or shirts are designed to fulfill the wish list of her many satisfied clients.

Bluesuits made-to-measure women’s suits

There seems to be a lot of confusion about what made-to-measure is. Let’s define it so we are all on the same page. For our purposes we will define a made-to-measure garment as a garment that is made with your body measurements but the pattern has already been created based on a fit model ( not you). That pre-existing pattern is altered to accommodate your measurements. Some companies misguide and confuse consumers by advertising their made-to-measure service as custom made. When they in fact do not develop a pattern from scratch for your body shape but they simply alter an existing pattern to your measurements and call that custom made.
Bluesuits made-to-measure garments can be customized to your specifications. You will find that because Bluesuits line of clothing is based on the unique body shapes of women, we already have styles in every category including jackets, pants, skirts and dresses that will fit your unique body shape so often our customers will customize the color, fabric or trim.

Bluesuits custom made women’s business attire

Our custom made garments are based on true custom fit, hand crafted patterns made with your exact measurements:
When you order a custom garment from Bluesuits a pattern is developed by our expert pattern maker and tailor with your exact measurements. Regardless of your shape, height, weight or size, you will have a perfect fitting suit.

You can choose any fabric, trim or lining you desire.

While Bluesuits offers a variety of high quality European fabrics designed by our designer, Jamak Khazra and exclusively produced for us, we do not limit you to fabrics we offer, instead you can order any color or fabric you dream of. We will send you several swatches that you can choose from.

You will get to try a prototype in your exact measurements before we cut your final garment.

We will use 25 body measurements to make a sample garment in the styles you have chosen and in a fabric with similar properties to your final garment for your approval before we cut your final garment. If you are unable to visit us at our showroom, we will send you a detailed measuring guide that can be taken to a tailor. Once you have your measurements you can input the data on our website through a link that we will send to you. Your custom suit will fit you perfectly regardless of your size, shape or height or weight

Dior’s Fall 2010 Godet Skirt

by Jamak Khazra on June 2, 2010

 Bluesuits original design kick pleat skirt from Fall 2009 and Dior's dress Fall 2010

Bluesuits original design kick pleat skirt from Fall 2009 and Dior's dress Fall 2010

When Couture fashion houses such as Gucci, Luis Vuitton, Prada or Chanel talk about fashion piracy it is more about the dilution of their brand and profits. Copies of original designs are sold for a fraction of the price. But what about when an unknown designer sees her last seasons design reappear in upcoming collection of an internationally known fashion house with minor changes?

This was the case with yours truly when I was flipping through the pages of Vogue issue of May 2010 while waiting to get a hair cut yesterday. I was shocked to see a near exact copy of Bluesuits original design of Fall 2009 kick-pleat skirt in the upcoming Christian Dior’s Fall 2010 collection.

Similarities were striking while differences were minor and negligible. Design details make Bluesuits kick pleat skirt unique:
1. Triple pleats instead of the usual pleats
2. Pleats on all 6 seams so 6 pleats instead of 4. ( in fact I took lots of heat from my pattern maker and factory as they saw it unnecessary to have the two extra pleats on the side seams). I meant for the skirt to have movement on the bottom against the very fitted hips.
3. The black and white fabric that gives the skirt it’s classic look and versatility.

Dior’s godet skirt has the same number of triple pleats but is made into a dress ( that really looks like a skirt and blouse) and the placement of the pleats is slightly different.

At Bluesuits, we do not follow fashion trends but instead we are inspired by our customers. This skirt was designed for women who can incorporate work appropriate pieces that go beyond the basic pencil skirt and a jacket.

Should I be flattered that Bluesuits kick pleat skirt has inspired or is really really similar to Dior’s? Somewhat!!

While it is a known fact that all designers find inspiration everywhere, including each other’s works this incident along with many more instances made me think about fashion piracy and the fact that While counterfeit with the label is illegal, there are no laws in the US to protect original designs by fashion designers.

I will end with a quote form Arie Kopelman Vice Chairman and past president of Chanel Inc. who says: ” We often say that when you copy a design it’s essentially counterfeit without the label”.

See Bluesuits Kick- Pleat skirts Video, probably the most versatile skirt in your wardrobe. Fits every shape.
