At this time of year, you can’t help but look back and think about all the things we are grateful for. For someone like me who is always working seasons ahead, I don’t often have the luxury of living in the current moment, let alone looking back and reflecting upon the last year. The […]
About Us
Styling Expertise
I always see menswear as an evolving part of fashion, and unlike womenswear, changes can be more subtle and much less apparent to the trained eye each season. On the other hand, menswear can get very traditional and seemingly the same after each season. This can suit a lot of you – men who tend […]
Connected to Menswear
Menswear has always appealed to my designer sensibility and, in particular, the sense of history and tradition that I find an endless font of inspiration, constantly connecting elements with each new season. On a recent trip to London, I was reminded of this when walking through Mayfair and my old haunts with London’s Regency […]
Part of A Happy Life
On the eve of our lapsed Client event, which will take place over the next few weeks, I feel a sense of optimism and opportunity. Reminding clients who already know us about what we offer from a product and service should be pretty effortless and somewhat fun, considering how our product updates each season with […]
Two Sides of a New Collection
Being ready for the new season is always exciting, with all the moving parts coming into place and the preparation of months of work in HQ finally coming to fruition. It’s not always smooth, and coordinating all this effort can, at times, be overwhelming, but for our stylists, it is a time to start the […]

It’s a Mad, Mad Fashion World
The Fashion World is often in turmoil as the material it deals with: “FASHION” is an ever-changing world within itself, sometimes completely unpredictable and driven by unexplainable forces that, even for the experts in fashion, at times seem totally bizarre. I don’t try to make sense of it, and whilst I don’t profess to be […]
The Unmatched Value of Custom
Audio: Listen to Chief Creative Officer Simon Kneen on the unmatched value of custom clothing >> During my recent travels, I have been able to reflect clearly on the value of purchasing custom-made garments compared to the value of purchasing off-the-peg. In specific categories such as our suiting, it clearly stands out how we can […]
Style Spotlight: A New King, A New Era
This week the sudden news of Queen Elizabeth II’s death has shocked her family, the country and citizens of the world. As British myself, I was unaware how deeply significant and destabilizing this moment would be, as her family and nation mourns and we look toward a new King taking on a perhaps impossible task […]
