Suit Obsession

Every once in a blue moon a menswear designer comes out that just nails the rakish elegance of the male ensemble. These designers can do for the male frame what Valentino or Carolina Herrera can do for the female silhouette. My latest designer obsession is the inspired Simon Spurr.

Simon, originally from Kent England, worked his way up in the industry until he was recruited to be Design Director for Ralph Lauren Black and Purple labels. After a few years of working for Ralph he launched his own denim line, before branching out to a broader range in 2007.

Final Verdict: His designs are amazing, and to top it all off, he's a really down-to-earth and pleasant guy in person.
