An afternoon "dressing easy"

Had a bit of spare time on my hands yesterday afternoon so thought it was about time to pay a visit to Adrien Sauvage's premises on Maddox Street. If you didn't know A Sauvage is the British menswear brand of the moment. Just ask Robbie Williams, Jude Law, Gerrard Butler Orlando Bloom who won't wear anything else at the moment.

So I popped in with my good pal and editor at Pickmix magazine Reece to get a first hand look at what Mr Sauvage had constructed. Only three rails were apparent in the store but what was on those rails were pure genius. Soft as butter suede bombers, pescada leather biker jackets and trademark prints for starters. Oh then the tailoring. Well where do I start? Adrien combines traditional British heritage into his tailoring and then infuses his contemporary and individual take. Big peak or notch lapels in single and double breasted option made from beautiful mohair wools. Sauvage's motto is "dress easy" and with tailoring like this it doesn't get any easier!

Heard yesterday from the A Sauvage team that its Paris and Milan next. Watch this space and "dress easy".
