ABOUT THE SUITSTAINABLE MAN
The Suitstainable Man began as a personal project to document my experiences with tailoring commissions and the world of classic menswear. I was fascinated by the artistry and cultural depth of Savile Row and other traditions of fine clothing. What started as reflections on suits and craftsmanship soon became a way of exploring how we form emotional bonds with the things we wear—and how these connections can challenge today’s fast fashion culture.
As my own studies advanced, so did the project. With an MSc in Environmental Technology from Imperial College London and an LLM in Environmental Law from Queen Mary University of London, I began looking at fashion through the lens of sustainability and consumer behaviour. My work as both a legal advisor and a sustainability consultant gave me the tools to investigate not just garments themselves, but the wider systems that shape them—from supply chains and environmental impact to the psychology of consumption and alternative approaches to ownership.
This exploration later took the form of a curated shop. I brought together a small collection of garments, accessories, and curiosities made by artisans from within and beyond classic menswear. The shop was never only about products—it was about showcasing values: sustainability, craftsmanship, and cultural heritage. Each item represented not just the skill of its maker but also a story of how fashion can carry meaning, identity, and responsibility.
Today, The Suitstainable Man continues as a platform at the intersection of craftsmanship, sustainability, and consumer behaviour. It remains a space for writing, reflection, and dialogue on how we connect with clothing and the wider textile system. At the same time, it has grown into a way of applying my professional background—using impact assessment and life cycle thinking to help brands, artisans, and communities translate values of heritage, sustainability, and cultural connection into practice. What began with a single suit commission has become an ongoing journey of combining research, consultancy, and storytelling to imagine more resilient futures for fashion and beyond.
