What does your work involve?
I am the founder and creative director of clothsurgeon, a bespoke contemporary menswear brand on Savile Row in London. My daily engagements consist of meetings, bespoke appointments, the design and direction of our new collections, and managing my team and our atelier; overseeing, assisting and cutting to ensure each and every one of our constructions is perfectly made and finished.
What inspires you?
I come from a sports background and played professional football – that is where my drive and determination comes from. It set a precedence for hard work, resilience and a constant pursuit of trying to be better. This remains a heavy source of inspiration.
I am also constantly inspired by the past, researching different eras and bringing them into the modern world with a contemporary lens on what I believe luxury menswear to be.
