A twist on the classic suit, Mr Van Assche has stayed true to classic silhouettes and pieces such as tailcoats and cummerbunds, but added embroidery embellishment and badges to give it an element of modern interest. This was Van Assche’s idea of taking a suit and ‘pushing it in more extreme interpretations’.
