Ozwald Boateng OBE

Ozwald Boateng OBEFor two decades, Ozwald has been re-writing established perceptions of Savile Row – the home of British tailoring. As well as his much sought-after bespoke service, for which he is continually updating his extensive range of cloths and silk linings, he also produces two ready-to-wear collections a year, which are sold internationally and through his flagship store on London’s Vigo Street.  These collections are shown to critical acclaim each season during the Menswear Collections in Milan, at which Ozwald’s fashion show is now a regular feature.   In 2000, Ozwald was awarded Top Menswear Designer at the British Fashion Awards and in 2006 he was awarded an OBE.
