A well-dressed man in a sharply tailored suit is usually a sight to behold and this area is the forte of Savile Row tailor Ozwald Boateng, who knows all to well the power of sharp tailoring and attention to detail and is widely credited with introducing Savile Row tailoring to a new generation.

With Boateng’s designs exuding confidence and individualism, defined by his signature use of colour which brings a contemporary feel to classic tailoring, 2010 sees Ozwald Boateng celebrate 25 years in the fashion business and for a glimpse into the man behind the label October 2010 also sees the world premiere of ‘A Man’s Story’ an autobiographical film documenting Ozwald Boateng’s journey through over the past 12 years, with a wider release in 2011. Ozwald Boateng is no stranger to filmmaking having produced a number of films over the years serving as an introduction to the background and inspiration of his collections.
