Custom | Watson Ellis: Who Gets to Wear the Suit?

Melissa Watson Ellis wants women to stop making headlines simply because they wore a suit. Through Watson Ellis, her custom and bespoke suiting atelier, Melissa is changing who gets access to tailored clothing — and what tradition looks like when it expands instead of excludes. In this episode of Style as Identity, host Lola Catero speaks with Melissa about making custom suiting more accessible, designing a process around the client without compromising the craft, and creating garments that help people feel more fully themselves.
