The Suit Version 2020

WHAT? The historical design in an upgraded version for the modern gentleman and his every day life.

HOW? The designer has immersed herself in the centuries-old history of the suit, which has its roots in the functional men’s outfit of the working and rural population. Today, the modern gentleman needs to be able to cycle, carry keys, a wallet and a mobile – and perhaps, over the years, even expand his waistline a little. The design takes all these factors into account with discrete pleats and extra width.

WHY? The partner's target group emphasises the signals that the classic suit sends – professionalism and classic style. Therefore, only the functionality of this design has changed radically.
