Written by Roxana Bangura | September 4, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Ghanaian British designer Ozwald Boateng known for his Bespoke Couture design line has come a far way from just designing mens suits on Savile Row in London. He is now known for his expertly tailored menswear which have been worn by such Hollywood elite as Samuel L. Jackson, Will Smith, and academy award winner Jaime Foxx, to name a few. His designs have been in the Jude Law movie, Alfie, the James Bond OO7 film series, and Rush Hour 3. He has even been consulted by Miller Genuine draft beer to re-do their design scheme. It is such exposure that has helped Boateng establish his presence in the US and, to a certain extent, the global marketplace. Boateng has stores in England, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Moscow and St. Petersburg, Russia. Not only has he become a household name in menswear couture in the UK, but he has expanded his talents as Creative Director of menswear for the French iconic house of fashion, Givenchy. Boateng is certainly an innovator when it comes to men’s fashion. His use of color and cut is brilliant and modern without being garish. He has won numerous awards including the prestigious Order of the British Empire given by Queen Elizabeth.

Mr. Boateng is an opportunistic visionary who has set his sights set on establishing a global brand the likes of which the world has not seen by an African. At present, he has Bespoke Perfume, and there are more stores due to open up world wide and more stars to dress. He makes his home in London with his wife and 2 children.
