Leon Powell, the coat cutter and Samuel Labone, the trousers cutter from Anderson & Sheppard, was back in Hong Kong for their trunk show on 6th & 7th Dec 2019 at Attire House, taking bespoke orders and fitting appointments.
Founded in 1906, the London based bespoke tailors Anderson & Sheppard is justly the most renowned tailoring house that follows the ‘drape’ style of cutting, which uses a touch more material in the chest and back of a jacket, to give the impression of a masculine upper body. Other prominent features of the house style includes an extended shoulder, a relatively low buttoning point, a suppressed waist and relatively open quarters, all of which contribute just as much to the overall flattering effect as that drape. Notable clients includes Fred Astaire, Noel Coward, Gary Cooper and the Prince of Wales.
