When you need a sophisticated suit like something plucked out of the red carpet, Giorgio Armani is one of the many brands that should be on your list of bespoke tailoring. If you are not a fan of off-the-rack pieces and prefer a personal touch, then the brand’s Made-To-Measure bespoke tailoring specialist can help you design your ultimate dream suit, this 9 to 11 May 2024 at the Giorgio Armani The Exchange TRX store.
Giorgio Armani is a world-renowned designer and brand that produces ready-to-wear and haute couture lines as well as bags, shoes and accessories. However, in 2006, Armani decided that a change had to happen. “It was a time of big fashion corporations, globalisation and an impersonal approach to design,” the legendary designer said. “I believe it is important to return to the heart of the creative process and make beautiful yet wearable clothes from the finest materials.”
From studying medicine to serving in the military, Armani decided to change his career path in 1975 by debuting his eponymous label in Milan. His Made-To-Measure was a hit, custom-making clothes for men and women. The great thing about this service is that you will get to choose every little detail of the clothing, such as your preferred silhouette and fit, as well as the fabric type and lining. You’ll get to personalise smaller details too, such as buttons, lapel type, fastenings, pocket positions, and the overall style for both the blazer and trousers.
“I realised that some of my clients wanted a unique product made especially for them,” Armani said. “I decided to create a Made-To-Measure service that offers all the benefits of a tailor-made garment.”
Giorgio Armani’s Made-To-Measure service is a study of fine art tailoring, combining the best of fabrics and cutting techniques with exquisite craftsmanship. Upon arriving at a Giorgio Armani store that provides the Made-To-Measure service, a trained staff will first assist you in the fabrics department. You can feel the fabrics available for your suit and the lining, whether it’s wool, silk or cotton, to name just a few. Then you can choose the button texture and shape, as well as lapels, and you’ll get to choose the style of the jacket—single or double-breasted—as well as pleated or non-pleated trousers. Next, choose the number of pockets you want. Then, the measurements will begin.
This Made-To-Measure service is designed to fit the busy working schedules of gentlemen all over the world. After the first session, you can return for a fitting and further adjustments. When the final product is ready, you’ll have the option for it to be delivered to your home or office. Rest assured, the style created and the measurements are unique to you. The store will keep your details for the next suit, without you having to return to the store. Last, but not least, your name will be stitched into your suit, on the inside right pocket to give it that ultimate exclusivity.
You don’t need to fly to Italy to look your absolute best in a suit. The Giorgio Armani Made-to-Measure specialists are coming to The Exchange TRX Kuala Lumpur this May, and only from the ninth to the 11th. So this is your chance to experience the exclusive service and to get a custom-fitting suit—an essential that every man needs in his wardrobe.
