Kathryn Sargent made history on Wednesday by becoming the first female master tailor to open her own premises on London's Savile Row — the epicentre of traditional British bespoke tailoring. Sargent, who worked her way up the ranks during 15 years on the prestigious street at Gieves and Hawkes, opened her first tailoring house around the corner in 2012, before seizing the opportunity to move back onto Savile Row in her own right. Having become well-known for her skills in the close-knit Savile Row community, she was offered the chance to open her own premises.
