I missed my own graduation, having been offered a summer internship in Switzerland at the time. Some months later, my BA(Hons) degree certificate was unceremoniously shipped to me in Italy, where the true start of my early career had already begun. Having studied fashion at Kingston University may not have set me up for dressing […]

Take Care
It’s funny how things stay with you from your childhood. Far from being a spoiled child I was brought up believing in taking care of one’s own belongings and whilst I was a very ‘choosy” kid, from an early age it was instilled in me to always be freshly pressed with polished shoes. Both of […]

What to Wear to a Wedding: The Wedding Invite Dilemma
I am often asked about wedding attire, which, for guys, can be a worrying task, taking them out of their comfort zone and comfortable clothes. When attending a wedding as a guest, your role depends on your relationship to the happy couple, and usually your invite will be clear about which part of the day […]
Spotlight on Sportscoats
I am happily back from a few weeks of travel after spending time in Milan with our Mills. Working with our mill partners is always a pleasure, and in particular, understanding what is working in their global markets can help us understand our own Clients and how their needs may be trending. This doesn’t necessarily […]
Behind the Seams
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 […]
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 […]
A Color Through The Ages
A few days ago, I began wondering why Navy Blue continues to be a preferred color not only with our clients but also within the menswear market. Particularly when compared to black, it outperforms across our many categories from pants to suits and outerwear. Personally, too I find it a constant go-to for every occasion […]
Refined Casual
The new fall collection seems to capture the season so perfectly through coloration, textures, patterns and, indeed, the fabric qualities themselves selected from our mill partners from around the world. Our tailoring and suits, in particular, have stood the test of time and most clients, established or new, find that a custom-made suit is […]
