The way she wears it
Sharp tailoring meets bold confidence in Kadwood suits, made for women with something to say. From the boardroom to centre stage, she dresses on her own terms—and makes every entrance her own.

Preface · Erin Kadwood
Sydney, 2018
I look at the suit almost like a vase. It's strong and utilitarian. The woman then gets to be the flower. Her femininity can bloom whilst being held by something with strength and structure.

Size YOU
Your body was never the problem. Standard sizing is.
Size YOU. A size defined over a conversation, not a number.
You do not need to change your body to belong in a suit. We begin by listening to the woman who will wear it.
How you move. What feels good. What you want to walk into next. Then we take the measurements that belong to you. We call this Size YOU.
Meet us by appointment at Shangri-La Sydney. Begin with a conversation.

Material · The Cloth
PLAIDS, TARTANS AND MERINO
What touches your skin stays with you all day.
There is a quiet pleasure in cloth that feels good against your skin. You notice its softness, its weight, the way it moves with you.
Pure wool is breathable and natural. We choose Australian Merino, cashmere and pure silk for the feel of a day spent wearing them.
Then comes expression. Bold heritage patterns, tartans, houndstooth, plaids and expressive prints. Cloth chosen to hold its character under intense stage lighting, and to feel like you when the lights go down.

THE DISCOVERY SESSION
High above the city, away from the world.
Ninety unhurried minutes to be heard. In a safe, private space, you can settle in, touch the cloth and talk about what you want.
Come alone, with friends or with the kids. There is room for your life here. You do not need all the answers before you arrive.
At Shangri-La Sydney, the city carries on below while we take our time. Sessions are by appointment. Enquire about travel dates and locations.
This is where your vision takes physical form.
