Savile Row is changing and although I think the big companies are the most amazing places to learn, I really like client interaction and being more creative. So, after six years working on the Row, I've founded my own tailoring house, Montague Ede, after my family name.

I'm sharing the space on Brewer Street with bespoke shirtmaker Deema Abi-Chahine, which works really well as we have a similar aesthetic and style and we studied at college together, so we both know what we like. The amazing thing about women working in this industry is there's a real sense of community – everyone's friendly and it's hugely supportive. When I started there were just six female cutters; now there are around 20, which is brilliant.
