GROOMING THE GROOM
So you are wanting to convince your groom-to-be to come with you to the Brisbane Wedding Fair this weekend. Well there is no more convincing as we cater for the guys too!
Here we are featuring some of the most trendsetting rising stars of the fashion industry, designing and creating suits and accessories for the male kind – heck some women wear suits too!
Enjoy ladies and gentlemen and make sure you visit the fashion parades through out the day to see these up close and personal.
URBBANA
URBBANA is an expression of luxury, a brand that bases its reputation on excellence and quality of all products from the elegant fabrics to exceptional stitching.
The URBBANA venture started in 2009 when Sam Abi, the brand founder and designer, launched the production of his signature menswear collection utilising prestigious fabrics along with the finest raw materials and traditional tailoring techniques. The tailoring tradition combined with original styles, are influenced by Australian flair and Mediterranean breeze to offer top quality products with focal points from the smallest details.
URBBANA has developed into a foremost Australian brand that epitomizes all symbols of elegance and sophistication.
FERGUS AND THE CAT
Brisbane-based designer Sheridan Ferguson founded Fergus & The Cat (FATC) in 2013 after responding to her desire to give old garments and fabrics new life, rather than throwing them out.
“I’d forever be digging through boxes of clothes from seasons past; knowing full-well I would never wear them again, but felt so wasteful
binning them! Having a background in visual communication design and a strong passion for sewing helped spark the idea of upcycling the fabrics into neck accessories that would appeal to a fashion forward market. Today I work with a carefully selected
range of both new, recycled and vintage fabrics to respond to current season styles and custom order requests.”
Fergus & The Cat is all about 100% handcrafted bow ties that aim to blend timeless style with cheeky attitude for bridal parties that perfectly
compliment each wedding.
FATC bow ties are unlike any other as they feature leather straps and buckles that adjust to your neck size and hide neatly under the collar of any
dress shirt. FATC bow ties can be selected from a ready-made online range or custom made to suit either the energetic and adventurous wedding styles or to compliment the tones and shades of the more traditional styled weddings.
BLACK JACKET SUITING
Black jacket Suiting is Brisbane’s newest independent gentleman’s fashion boutique. Specialising in weddings, formals, uniforms (men & ladies) and corporate attire we endeavour to attain the right fit, style and price for every client and subsequently priding themselves on combining the highest level of customer service with product diversity and affordable prices.
Black Jacket Suiting have over 1000 different fabrics of suits both off the rack and bespoke available ranging in price to suit every budget.
They are also completely mobile with our unique services and realise that it is more efficient for the modern time poor gentleman to do his shopping online. However, the intricacy that a suit requires to fit correctly needs an element of personal touch and expertise. With this in mind Black Jacket Suiting will personally visit and fit you up in your perfect suit at your place of work or residence at a time that suits you (even after hours).
Keeping all your measurements on file with your own personal profile allows Black Jacket Suiting to re-order and tailor subsequent purchases with the ability to have your product delivered directly to your door without you having to lift a finger.
