There's a lot to be said for a subtle, straight-laced suit. For when you want to be low-key and quietly authoritative, there's nothing better. Sometimes, though, you want a suit to be more than just a suit. You want something that announces your arrival; you want a statement.
Italian designer Angelo Galasso's suits are not what you'd call straight-laced. They're big, bold and make no apologies – and why should they? Every article is cut, sewn and styled by hand in Italy. Its Polso Orologio shirt – the first design Galasso created – undertakes 85 (yes, eighty-five) steps on its journey to completion; and in each one of its suits, ties and accessories, you'll find subtle – and not so subtle – embellishments to make them stand apart from the crowd. With the party season almost upon us, you’ll rarely have a better excuse to indulge.
Looks are available for around £5,000. Angelo Galasso is located at 8-10 Hans Road, Knightsbridge, SW3 1RX; for more info and to shop the collection, visit angelogalasso.com.
