Our time is now
Connecting with people has been a golden thread woven throughout Jimmylee’s storied career as a designer. It all began at Taglis Tailor, which was established in 1941 as a tailor shop in downtown Buffalo. Without losing sight of the shop’s personalized service, Jimmylee would go on to evolve the brand into a custom design house and eventually into the formalwear boutique, TT New York. As the exclusive carriers of Jimmylee Designs, these boutiques across New York continue to pay homage to their heritage through on-site custom design and tailoring. And critically, the energy, precision and love Jimmylee is famous for, continue to inform each guest experience.
Often referred to as an “old soul,” Jimmylee finds inspiration in vintage styles, reimagining them for today’s world, with a signature less-is-more approach. “There’s nothing sexier than the 1920s, 30s and 40s,” he says. “I like to be that guy that thinks from the past but designs for the future.”
And yet there is likely no greater inspiration for Jimmylee than his own mother, whose Elizabeth Taylor-era glamor and self-love forever shaped his sense of confidence and perceptions of style and beauty. “If I had a skinny mom, I don't think I would look at women the same way,” he says. “I look at women as the best creatures that God has created.”
Today, Jimmylee continues to infuse his unique artistry, optimism and gift of connection to empower clients to feel extraordinary. “You can’t do everybody in one dress,” he laughs, “but I can do a dress for everybody.”
