AN EVENING WITH JO BAKER WATERS

Jo Baker Waters is a Savile Row–trained bespoke tailor and visual artist whose practice

bridges heritage tailoring and contemporary art installation.

She completed her apprenticeship at Gieves & Hawkes on Savile Row, later practising as a master tailor and developing a signature approach rooted in sculptural tailoring, sharp pattern cutting, and hand construction.

She is a double award-winner of the Worshipful Company of Merchant Taylors’ prizes

for “Best Womenswear Tailor” and “Best Bespoke Tailor” (2005). In 2017 she authored

and published Pattern Cutting Techniques for Ladies’ Jackets, written to support the

transmission of advanced tailoring skills.

Formerly Head of Menswear Design at Calvin Klein in New York, Jo was personally

sponsored to relocate by Calvin Klein. She worked alongside Raf Simons, Pieter Mulier

and Matthieu Blazy, before expanding her practice beyond fashion into contemporary

art installation and wearable art. She now works between Los Angeles and London,

combining Savile Row precision with material experimentation at architectural scale.
