Now, labels can be a complicated business but we always endeavour to find out as much as we can but something slipped by in this instance. The post has now been amended having followed up with Tom to discuss Ross' involvement in T. Lipop. Ultimately, they have worked closely together in the final weeks of each collection and he's a close friend of Tom's but he's never been a full time employee of the label.Style Salvage Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09637953416614454873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9178228248113361074.post-48650069583675807972012-06-01T11:51:48.118+01:002012-06-01T11:51:48.118+01:00I think people need to take their heads out of Ros...I think people need to take their heads out of Ross Hancocks Deririere! Has anyone here actually worked with either Tom or Ross? Or is this just Ross's friends trying to push Ross's name. This is very sad to see and dispicable that Tom is not being given the credit he deserves. Everyone is talking about how great and what a genius Ross is but does anyone actually know how technically gifted Tom is! I was one of Toms lecturers at University and then worked alongside Tom on Jermyn Street and he cuts an immaculate suit by eye! He is one of only a few I have come accross that can break the most intricate of garments down in to pattern pieces just by looking at them. Does anyone know if Ross actually designs for the brand or what it takes to run a label, does he actually get involved with any of that side.I I find it worrying that so many people on here have such an opinion and none of whom even know Tom or what he is capable of or at least work with them seeing what goes on behind closed doors. Isn't Ross a womenswear designer by the way! Surely he would have won Project Catwalk had he been the genius everyone is talking about. Sure he may HELP with the cutting and take some of the workload off Tom's back (there must be a huge amount starting a brand) but by god, most of the designers out there don't even cut their own collections. Please tell me, does anybody know who cuts for Givenchy, Hermés, Prada, even Katranzou etc! I did not think so. At 27 years of age, Tom has a lot to learn but it is not T.Hancock or R.Lipop. The name above the door is T.Lipop, so give this Young British Designer a chance.Amandanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9178228248113361074.post-44123058960986270882012-05-30T22:25:28.850+01:002012-05-30T22:25:28.850+01:00I find it disgusting that Ross Hancock has not bee...I find it disgusting that Ross Hancock has not been mentioned- not even a nod to the real genius behind the label.

Please do.
I've known Ross for a ...Hi Steve, <br /><br />Please do.<br /><br />I've known Ross for a long time, both personally and professionally and often heard how excited he has been to be involved, creating revolutionary new techniques and sourcing new suppliers when the team have been let down. <br /><br />Besides being an extremely talented individual it's also worrying to see such behaviour, apparently happening amongst fledgling houses. Peers should be helping each other. It's tough enough in this business.Charlyinchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692864053986712412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9178228248113361074.post-22254388814871242072012-05-29T14:18:39.944+01:002012-05-29T14:18:39.944+01:00Charlie, Anonymous 1 and 2: I was with Tom and Ess...Charlie, Anonymous 1 and 2: I was with Tom and Esser at their studio for an hour talking about the label and Ross' contribution did not come up at all. Now, this could just be an honest mistake and I'll speak with Tom about Ross' involvement in T.

I respect that each brand/label needs a face but shouldn't articles like this be more about who is actually the force behind the beauty. In this case, like the people above have said, it's Ross. This isn't about singling people out, but this article is incorrect in many ways and to not even mention him is disgraceful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9178228248113361074.post-37768673720035194272012-05-29T13:45:25.433+01:002012-05-29T13:45:25.433+01:00WHAT?

He has consulted for Tom almost since the beginning and with out his input, tom would not be where he is now. I think someone should do a big shout out to Ross as he really deserves it.
