Michał Zyzek

Master Tailor and founder of an independent tailoring workshop in Szczecin, Poland, established in September 2022. I work independently across tailoring, made-to-measure garments, garment construction, fittings, alterations and apparel production. My practical experience includes pattern construction, individual and production cutting, hand sewing, garment finishing, sewing machine maintenance and direct work with clients.

My current practice focuses on men's bespoke tailoring, including jacket and suit construction using Half Canvas and Full Canvas techniques. Alongside my tailoring practice, I develop my own clothing brand and collaborate with independent designers, fashion projects. I am organizing courses structured according to different levels of difficulty as well.

I also serve as an examiner in the tailoring trade for the Chamber of Crafts in Szczecin.
