Listeners may recall I paid over $200 for a tie by (in my humble opinion) one of the greatest mens designers in the world - Ozwald Boateng while I was in London last year.
Well my prized tie - red, orange and yellow angled stripes has been basically destroyed.
It had a small mark on the bottom of it, so i thought I best get it dry cleaned. Stupidly thinking - theyre professionals, im sure they know what theyre doing.
The silk is now all loose, and the stitching along the back has come free, on top of this the diamond shaped fold at the bottom is now ripped.
To top this off - they stapled it back together. Who would notice a two staples holding your most designer (irreplacable in NZ) tie?
Acclaimed menswear designer Ozwald Boateng has successfully united the skills of British bespoke tailoring with his own distinctive approach to menswear design and forged a new appreciation of Savile Row.
Self-taught, Boateng began tailoring at the age of 16 and in 1994 became the first Savile Row tailor to show during the International Menswear Collections in Paris. In 2003 he was appointed CreativeDirector of Menswear at Givenchy further securing his dominant position on the world fashion stage.
Boateng’s attention to detail and finish are most clearly demonstrated in his superb bespoke tailoring, for which he was developed a stellar clientele, amongst them Jude Law, Jamie Foxx, Will Smith and Daniel Day Lewis.
Today Ozwald Boateng’s distinguished and award winning designs are sold and celebrated internationally and his unique approach to cut, colour and detail has created a new ‘look for men’-stylish, beautiful and sexy.
