Our appearance speaks louder than our words. There are many things that we can't control, the weather, the economy but how we decide to  present ourselves to strangers and new acquaintances is not one of them. Countless communication studies have shown a man’s visual appearance is initially more powerful than what he says; ignore your wardrobe at your own risk.



There are several steps to be taken as a man in wardrobe building. Which are:

Making the commitment and understanding your needs.
Clothing specifics.
Accessories, maintenance and storage.

Making the commitment and understanding your needs. 
First learn and then commit to improve your personal presentation. First, before spending a dime, you must commit to making the change. Do this by going through your current clothing and setting aside everything that you 1) have not worn for two years 2) is noticeably stained and 3) fits so poorly not even a master tailor could adjust it to fit.

The Business Owner’s Wardrobe

You occasionally wear a suit when meeting with clients or investors but in the confines of your office you are more casual while still maintaining a level of professionalism around your employees. In the evenings with friends and family you are much more relaxed, and even if you head to the office Saturday morning, you’re going in jeans and a polo.

Kimono Kollection is not an inherited label or venture. It is a label cultivated to cater to the needs of the modern man. Whilst our structured tailoring adheres to the principles of and the immaculate tailoring of a bygone age, the brands appeal is to the diverse, multi lifestyle of the modern day gent. My particular passion for fashion was bred during my university years in the United Kingdom.

As a student, I schooled myself in the vision of the craftsmen at Saville Row as well as keeping a sharp eye on the edgy East London fashion scene. An eclectic combination of both disciplines meant I quickly became renowned for my own unique personal style.
