Style [+] Life [+] Fashion by [@kwest1908]
Style + Life + Fashion interviewed Seth Schafer from Christopher Schafer Clothier located in Baltimore, Maryland. Seth joined the business in 2013, leaving his own mark on the fashion industry.
He has been featured in the Baltimore Business Journal as well helping the team to win RAW Awards Baltimore’s Best Fashion Designers 2013.
What inspired you to become a menswear designer?
My father was the biggest inspiration. He opened my eyes to the industry and really took me under his wing. Since working with him I have developed my own style in how I design clothing.
In your opinion, what makes your studio and collection unique from any other brand?
Our studio is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. My father and I are both musicians and we have a full stage setup in our studio. We enjoy playing music after a long day. He is a drummer and I’m a bassist. We have a different ambiance compared to most places. We are located on 1400 Aliceanna Street in a two hundred year old warehouse. The juxtaposition of a vintage building with modern luxury suits really works for us. We are really active in the community as well. We recycle gently used suits and give them to gentleman who have been recently released from prison. The goal is to dress them accordingly to give them a better chance at landing a career. More info can be found at www.sharpdressedman.org
What are some of your greatest accomplishments as a designer?
I was named Baltimore’s Best Tailor by the City Paper in 2014. I also was awarded 40 Under 40 award from the Baltimore Business Journal.
What’s your favorite accessory from the collection?
We just finished up a ton of new ties that are made from vintage silk. They all are beautiful but one particular paisley tie has been my favorite!
Honestly, how many suits do you own?
I have all the staple suits of a wardrobe. The navy solid, grey solid, charcoal herringbone are essentials in anyone’s wardrobe. I have about 15 suits. I recycle my older suits and give them to our Sharp Dress Man program. I would have a much bigger wardrobe if I kept all of my suits, but the enjoyment of telling a gentleman that the suit I’m giving them was mine personally is an awesome feeling.
Do you have any advice for anyone that’s interested in becoming a menswear or fashion designer?
I would recommend spending as much time as you can meeting people in your industry. They can help refer business and teach you things about the business. I personally think it makes you a better designer if you can help recommend other people for your clients needs.
What’s in the future for Christopher Schafer Clothier?
Right now we are rapidly growing here in Baltimore. The vision is to have a shop in Los Angeles and London.

My personal experience with BJs services includes shopping at the deli and bakery. I am always hosting a holiday event for my family or planning a Sunday dinner. I decided to visit the deli for a platter but discovered a selection of meat lasagna, meatballs, wings platter, chicken parmesean, scallops wrapped in bacon, and a mini quiche assortment. How could I forget to share the delicious birthday cakes and breakfast platter assortments.
Purchasing items at the deli and bakery saved me time and money. It allowed me to plan a delicious menu without the preparation and I saved money due to their reasonable prices.

Sharing photos and clothing from The Tamar Collection –
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of The Braxtons and especially Tamar. Their sister dynamic reminds me of my own family with the laughs and craziness! I’m also the youngest child and can relate to Tamar in the perspective of being outspoken, fashionable, and loving everyone unconditionally.
I was excited to receive items from the Tamar collection and eager to share with my audience. The two pieces shipped included the Vegan Leather Pants and Striped Shadow Skirt. Both items are simply gorgeous and very well-made for all body types.
For styling purposes, the striped shadow skirt can be worn with a blouse or jacket to dinner, church, or brunch. The vegan leather pants are perfect for a girl’s night out and perfect in terms of size and length.
I decided to pair the skirt with teal accessories for a fresh summer look; and wear a white jacket with the pants for a sophisticated color combination.
I hope that everyone will check out the Tamar Collection. The site updates frequently and trust me, you will not be disappointed!
