Royals of Toussaint x Holmes London Collaboration:

The Regalwear Collection

Lead Designer: Sebastian O. Holmes

Design Assistant: Mahalia A. Hartt

Support Team: Estelle N. Li-Young, Pollux L. Okusanya

Reviewing the brief for the regalwear collection and finding my name listed as part of the team made everything more real. The project deviates from the standard process of a collection, the Toussaint Royals only requesting for a set of samples to present at the annual Winter Gala at Cionne, the capital city of Toussaint, before the official tailoring for each royal could begin.

This meant that if I did well, I could continue working on this project in the foreseeable future. And even explore future projects surrounding it, should the opportunity present itself.

With the brief in my inbox and an introductory meeting scheduled for next week with an actual member of the Toussaint royal family, I feel the nervous excitement building. Contributing to a high-profile project for a distinguished client is a remarkable milestone and I still can’t believe I’ve been given the opportunity.

My first official project.

A Regalwear Collection.

The initial task I’ve been assigned before starting actual work is clearing out the secondary studio on the fourth floor, where I’ll be working with Sebastian on the collection. It was a way to keep the main collection downstairs separate from special client work.

I immediately get to work as I reach the second studio, drawing the blinds open to let natural light in from the outside. I look around the space appreciatively, taking note of the stacks of cardboard boxes and haphazardly placed mannequins in the room. It’s not as big as the main studio downstairs, only half of its size really, but the space is more than adequate since it would only be Sebastian and I working here rather than the usual team of five.

If he ever decides to actually work in the studio, that is.

Pollux warned me of Sebastian’s tendency to work from home days at a time and then deliver results last minute and I’ve mentally prepared myself for any hiccups along the way.

Quietly humming to myself, I’m wiping down the surface of the worktables in the middle of the room when I hear voices out in the corridor.

Puzzled to know who else is on the fourth floor, I peer outside of the door and freeze as I spot the recognisable head of platinum blond hair. August is in the middle of a conversation with another person, their voices filling the empty corridor. I do a double-take because they look strikingly similar at first glance.

Same height, same stature. Same facial features, almost.

One could easily mistake them for twins, if it wasn’t for the stark contrast between August’s platinum head of hair and the honey-brown locks of his companion. They walk past the secondary studio, completely unaware of my presence inside.

“Why didn’t you go to Vante?” I instantly recognise August’s voice as he speaks, an urgency in his tone.

“We did,” Comes the reply. “You turned us down.”

“What?” August sounds taken aback.

A pause. “The Palace received an ever so gracious email of rejection from the Cedric Vante himself.
