The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2020 - Issue 27

bite fashion Custommade E stablished in 2002 in the Danish capital of Copenhagen, the womenswear brand Cus- tommade was inspired by a dream to create custom-made and beautiful clothing for the independent woman. The brand, creatively driven by founder and creative director, Christian Dam and head designer, Anne Rasmussen, offers an array of urban essentials that appeal to modern-minded and cosmo- politan women who crave simple sophistication. Within this brand you will find timeless designs with a contemporary edge that are created with energy and a special focus on the fabrics that have a fantastic feel, thus providing affordable luxury. Its strong and recognisable brand identity perfectly underlines the sophisticated design playfully and charmingly. “Poetic, dreamy, and fashionable enough to dress up for a quick trip to Paris, Custommade is fashion for the ‘Magni- fique Chic.’” Innovative new pieces like the Tacca Dress in Estate Blue, a navy mini dress in heavy quality satin with puffy shoulders, short sleeves, and buttons in the front, or the Haniel Dress in Whisper White, a short dress in a crispy cotton quality with long sleeves, puffy shoul- ders, and a waist belt are very chic. Also in Whisper White as well as Anthracite Black is the Elorie Dress designed with a high collar, tight cuffs, delicate pearl buttons, and detailed with a mesh broderie. With its eye-catching detachable handmade beaded collar, the By Numbers Andrea Dress in Ballerina, a silk slip dress in delicate pink lace really stands out. How about the By Numbers Zofja Shirt in Chalk Green? This extravagant and delicate blouse in pol- yester-silk with a silk slip top is designed with puffy shoulders, tight cuffs, and a stunning pussy-cat bow that can be worn with trousers such as the By Numbers Kami Trousers in Coral Pink. The brand features beautifully made tailored jackets such as the Madelin Stripes Blazer in Coral Pink, a long classic double-breasted pinstriped blazer in a delicate pink that can be styled with the matching Fifi Trousers in the same colour as a suit. The blazer is also available in White, Cement, and a satin Estate Blue. For a full suit look, they can be paired with Melissa or Marikka Trousers in White and Cement, or Thille Trousers or Tilly Skirt in Estate Blue. I quite like the Bari Leather Shirt in Plantation and An- thracite Black, a slim-fitting shirt in 100% soft leather designed with tight cuffs and puffy shoulders. These shirts can either be worn with the matching knee- length Boline Leather Shorts which are high-waisted with side pockets or colour contrasted with other Images courtesy of Custommade
