Introducing Banshee of Savile Row, a progressive bespoke women’s tailoring house that has been making a splash in the fashion industry. Co-founded by Ruby Slevin and Rocco Tullio, Banshee of Savile Row aims to empower women through fashion and redefine the traditional concept of a banshee.
Their recent show video, titled “The Banshee Wind,” showcases their unique tailored approach to women’s fashion. Set amidst the breathtaking Wicklow Mountains, the video presents the collection against stunning natural landscapes, including dramatic vistas and valleys covered in beautiful heather embroidery.
The video stars South African model Emily Meuleman, effortlessly highlighting the standout pieces from the collection. From oatmeal-cashmere double-breasted coats to checked Chesterfield jackets, Banshee of Savile Row offers elegant and sophisticated designs. The collection also features eye-catching red velvet and burgundy crushed velour pantsuits, as well as authoritative black crepe pantsuits and aqua-blue corduroy trousers for a whimsical country stroll.
Meuleman’s presence in the video is further enhanced by the use of dry ice and bold makeup choices, such as shamrock-green lipstick. Attention to detail is evident throughout the video, even down to the inclusion of fingerless gloves, reminiscent of the iconic fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld.
During the lockdown, Slevin and Tullio dedicated their time to pre-production, working in the scenic areas of Wicklow and Kerry in Ireland. Although not officially a part of London Fashion Week, Banshee of Savile Row took advantage of the event’s spotlight to premiere their fashion film on YouTube. Now based in London, the duo is determined to establish their unique brand by combining the impeccable tailoring skills of Savile Row with fabrics sourced from Europe’s finest mills.
For Slevin and Tullio, fashion is more than just style and trends. They believe that it has the power to empower wearers, instilling them with strength, confidence, and bravery. This philosophy is at the core of their fashion film, which aims to make a powerful statement without uttering a single word.
In conclusion, Banshee of Savile Row is carving out a distinct reputation in the world of bespoke women’s tailoring. With their unwavering commitment to quality fabrics, exceptional craftsmanship, and empowering aesthetic, Slevin and Tullio are reshaping the perception of women’s fashion. Banshee of Savile Row encapsulates the beauty and strength of fierce women, providing a platform for embracing change and amplifying their voices.
