A mature search for style. Fashion and menswear for all men.

Norton & Sons make a Museum of London tweed suit for Tinie Tempah

Monday, 5 January 2015

The Museum of London's curator of fashion, Timothy Long, is on a mission to establish London as the historic creative centre of menswear. I mentioned the development of a Museum of London tweed, designed for the current Sherlock Holmes exhibition, in a previous blog post. For London Collections:Men, starting on Friday this week, a suit has been made for Tinie Tempah from Museum of London tweed by Patrick Grant's Norton & Sons of Savile Row.

Tinie took a major role in the design and the suit features a horseshoe waistcoat, tapered trousers and a slim-fit single-breasted jacket with a flash of golden-yellow lining. He will wear the suit at LC:M and it will then be acquired by the museum for their fashion and textiles collection (which now contains over 20,000 objects and records London's place at the centre of the development of modern menswear).
