Delhi’s Pezalli bespoke suits are made to highlight the distinctive style in each of us.
The thing with bespoke is that there are just so many possibilities with what eventually turns up as the final look. It takes expertise and experience to guide things in the right direction. From drafter and cutter to master and tailor, it requires seamless integration between all the people involved in the creation of a garment. One such sartorial orchestra is headed by Anupama Sachdeva, under the name Pezalli, and I recently had them create me a harmony in wool.
From the very start, the process was different (and this is coming from a guy who indulges in bespoke frequently enough to know the difference). For one, the top three things that Sachdeva focussed on as we sat down for our first tête-à-tête were these.
Am I a classic dresser or more creative, prone to breaking established rules? Is there a touch of the dramatic to my suited silhouette, or is it more romantic and highly accessorised? This would help the Pezalli team decide just how accepting I would be of makeovers. There was an intense questionnaire that I was required to fill up, to help establish an idea about me even before our first meeting.
