Belgrade will host the prestigious event „24 hours of Elegance – Concours d’Elegance & Salon of Excellence” from September 6-8, 2019 during which the conference and exhibition The Salon of Excellence dedicated to excellence in craftsmanship will be held on September 7, at the Belgrade Waterfront salon in Karađorđeva street starting at 3pm. That will be an opportunity for Edward Sexton handcrafted suits and British Turnbull & Asser handcrafted shirts to get presented to Belgrade audience.
Edward Sexton has been at the forefront of the British bespoke tailoring establishment for over 50 years. From his workshop on Beauchamp Place in Knightsbridge, Sexton and his team create truly elegant couture suits, coats and separates, which draw upon Edward’s uncompromising understanding of design and his commitment to handcrafted tailoring.
Sexton suits are iconic not only for their elegant, glamorous design, but also for the instinctive talent of Edward himself. Edward has a life’s worth of experience in creating handmade tailoring of the highest possible standard. His tailoring philosophy is legendary and his understanding of the craft unparalleled.
As such, a Sexton bespoke suit is immaculately hand-cut, hand-sewn and hand-finished in-house by the Sexton workshop, retaining high standards in-house is of paramount importance. Edward and Dominic cut every garment individually, imbuing into the two-dimensional panels of the suit a unique understanding of proportion, finesse, silhouette and structure. The customer is not just fitted in their suit, a suit is moulded to the customer’s figure, to enhance the impression of his physique and achieve a flawless, harmonious design.
Once cut, every garment is sewn in-house by Edward’s chosen craftspeople. Handwork is of paramount importance to the Knightsbridge bespoke service, and it is only Edward’s dedication to the precise art of hand tailoring that allows a Sexton suit to achieve its unique balance of softness, richness and an expressive silhouette. At every stage of the process, aesthetic balance and the necessity of creating an elegant garment is considered, lending a Knightsbridge Bespoke suit its unique sense of composure.
Founded in 1885, Turnbull & Asser is a British shirtmaker, creating luxurious shirts and ties in its workrooms. Priding itself on superior craftsmanship and personal service, these qualities were recognised by HRH The Prince of Wales with the bestowal of a Royal Warrant in 1980. Rich in history and yet forward-thinking, Turnbull & Asser has dressed influential men and women including royalty and captains of industry to artists and stars of stage and screen in beautifully made English shirts. Today, the heritage brand continues to focus on ready-to-wear, Made to Measure, and Bespoke shirts and ties at the centre of its clothing range for individuals that appreciate quality and craftsmanship.
Turnbull’s unrivalled expertise as a bespoke shirtmaker has seen customers extend from its London and New York flagship stores to across the world. Twice a year, the British heritage brand brings its bespoke specialists to key cities around the world through a series of international By Appointment trunk shows. For those that cannot visit the Turnbull stores, By Appointment is the perfect opportunity to get the true bespoke shirtmaking experience.
Their Bespoke specialists will take you through the process of creating your shirts, from the initial 18-23 measurements to selecting your fabrics, collar and cuff options plus added personalisation. Your bespoke pattern will then get sent to our workroom in Gloucester where a sample shirt will be made. After wearing and laundering it three times, the shirt fit will be true to size. Once you are happy with the sample, the remaining shirts will be created and sent to you. The By Appointment trunk show has a two-shirt minimum order.
