"The idea for The Tailory New York began when I decided to direct my years of fashion design and men’s tailoring experience towards my own wardrobe. As a pantsuit aficionado and a lover of men’s fashion and tailoring, I was always drawn to tailored clothing and strived to create fashion that conveyed the same messages of confidence that a perfectly custom tailored suit did for men.

Style icons like Sean Connery and Cary Grant, as well as modern day 007 Daniel Craig (shaken not stirred) were always my style inspirations. To me, they are the epitome of refinement and sophistication, true gentlemen in style. My passion for fashion and tailoring led me through the Fashion Design program at Parsons followed by stints in custom tailoring, fashion design, fashion styling and brand development. But the more I integrated myself in the industry, the more I realized that impeccable fit, for men and women, was almost impossible to find in ready to wear clothing.

So in 2013, I launched The Tailory New York as a way for me to combine my two passions: Fashion Design and Custom Tailoring. Everyone wants to look their best and having a wardrobe curated to your body and lifestyle not only enables you to look your best but makes you feel your best. At The Tailory New York, “we believe that your wardrobe should not only fit perfectly but should be designed with only YOU in mind.” Providing personally designed, fitted, and curated collections for each individual client is the essence of who we are. Let us custom design the wardrobe fit for you! "

"While at Parsons, I was drawn to the precision and global history of bespoke tailoring - an art that's now accessible to everyone regardless of gender, race, or economics. The Tailory New York has become one of the world's most sought after ateliers, particularly for the LGBTQIA+ community. Bespoke is like flying private versus coach: our clients participate in the design process, selecting fabrics and discussing features they want to highlight. Superior fabrics and keen design details provide newfound confidence, creating forever heritage pieces. We look forward to welcoming you."

Shao New York is a culinary destination that blends traditional Chinese cuisine with modern New York flair. Let me search for more specific information about this establishment.

I see now that SHAO New York is a luxury streetwear brand, not a restaurant. Let me provide an accurate description:

SHAO New York is a cutting-edge luxury streetwear brand founded by designer Shao Yang, a Parsons School of Design graduate who brings impeccable bespoke tailoring skills to contemporary fashion. The brand artfully blends Savile Row craftsmanship with New York street style, creating powerful, gender-expansive collections that have been featured in prestigious publications including Vogue, Forbes, and Harper's Bazaar. As a Taiwanese-born designer who moved to Brooklyn at age five, Yang infuses her collections with elements honoring her heritage, showcasing Asian craftsmanship and representation in the fashion industry. After launching The Tailory in 2014, Yang debuted SHAO in 2023, positioning herself as an emerging thought leader in genderless fashion and contemporary suiting.
