Ward’s style has evolved naturally on Savile Row for over 20 years, honing his skills to build a resume that includes royalty, rockstars, designers, actors and entrepreneurs.
As well as acquiring a reputation as a prominent Senior Cutter on Savile Row, David’s ability to translate the traditional values of Savile Row tailoring into the arena of contemporary design has enabled him to consult with some of the most progressive designers of our time. David has worked more notably with Christopher Kane, Henry Holland, Kim Jones, The Kooples and Nike.
Below is a small example of some of the people David has cut for.
In spite not being a warrant holder for the palace, David made two suits for HRH Prince Phillip.
Prior to the death of Alexander McQueen, David was the Savile Row cutter for McQueens own personal suits.
Agnus Deane for Henry Holland
Jenny Shimizu for Christopher Kane
Gerry McGovern, Design Director for Land Rover
After the success of the first series of Downton Abbey, David made the exceptional dress tails that was worn by Hugh Bonneville as Lord Grantham in series 2 and throughout the rest of the programme. David Still has a personal letter of thanks sent by Julian Fellowes the creator of Downton. Hugh Bonneville, returned later where David cut him his own personal suit.
After helping translate the designs for several of Christopher Kanes collections, David also made suits for Christopher himself.
