Meet Nick
What motivated you to start your business?
I was always inspired by fashion and by the way clothing fit. I started working as a model for a few companies in early adulthood and became so motivated to make everyone's clothing fit the correct way. My father was a tailor and wanted me to have a skill, so he pushed me to learn me as a kid but it paid off. Later on I used that talent to better my career. I am so happy that I had a father that invested in me.
What is your favorite part of what you do?
The final product and the smile on the face of our clients when the garment is transformed to what they hoped it would be. It makes me so happy when our clients see the final product.
What career accomplishment are you most proud of?
My biggest accomplishment is seeing my brand take off. It’s rewarding seeing my company recognized as one of the top tailors in New York City. As my name grows, it makes me so proud of the hard work that I have put into my brand and can’t wait to see what the future holds.
Do you have a few tips to identify if a garment is worth tailoring?
It has to be worth it for you, whether it is a brand new piece or a piece you are trying to bring back to life. Garments age like us, so if there is a lot of damage in the garment already or if there are areas that are just too tight, then it may not be worth fixing. We will always take a look for you and be honest with you to ensure that you are making the right decision.
As an added benefit for our clients, we have an exclusive BU Style x Beyond Bespoke partnership offer of 10% off alterations when we work with you at Beyond Bespoke.
