First female master tailor opens own shop in London’s historic Savile Row

By Ana Nicolaci da Costa LONDON (Reuters) – Kathryn Sargent made history on Wednesday by becoming the first female master tailor to open her own shop in London's prestigious Savile Row. After being trained at Royal tailor Gieves & Hawkes for 15 years, where she also broke ground by becoming the first female head cutter, her journey came full circle when she opened the doors to her own store on the iconic street, which has traditionally been dominated by men in its near 200-year association with tailoring. “It feels just wonderful to be back in Savile Row and to actually have my name across and above one of the shops here,” said the softly spoken 41-year old, wearing her own creation.

Luxury market growth to reach low point in 2016: Bain

By Astrid Wendlandt and Pascale Denis VERSAILLES, France (Reuters) – Growth in the more than 250 billion euro ($285 billion) personal luxury goods market should pick up next year, boosted by resurgent demand in the United States and China, after hitting a trough in 2016, consultancy Bain & Co predicted. Bain, whose industry outlook is an authoritative and traditionally closely watched barometer of trends because of its extensive coverage of the sector, forecast luxury sales growth this year of around 1 percent at constant exchange rates, against 1.5 percent in 2015. Bain is due to release in a few weeks its updated study and forecasts for the luxury goods market, which includes accessories, clothing, jewelry and watches, and has not yet published any figures to show its latest thinking on the outlook.
