Here are the details of similar blue shirts from the retailer. They are;

  • 100% SR Silk with Embroidery
  • Classic One Button Collar
  • One Button Mitered Cuffs
  • Swarovski Details
  • Made in Italy

In an interview with LuxuryLondon.co.uk, the designer opened up about his line of clothes saying he doesn’t need to advertise or use celebrity endorsements.

You won’t find his products in Duty-Free. He has a homewares line and Junior – his collection for mini oligarchs – but, despite opportunities, has decided against extending his name into the likes of womenswear or hotels.

His shops, of which he now has more than 60, don’t do sales – “because it’s disrespectful to a gentleman to buy one of our suits for, say, €8,000, and then to see it the next day priced at half that amount.”
