Suitsupply Now Open | 44 Maryland Plaza

Last night I attended the grand opening of Suitsupply at it’s first St. Louis location in the Central West End. How exciting it is to be getting a store here in St. Louis as the other locations are in larger cities like New York or Miami.

A little background about Suitsupply:
Since its founding in 2000 in Amsterdam, Suitsupply has been an unqualified success. Launched out of the trunk of Fokke De Jong’s car, giving new meaning to “Trunk Show,” Suitsupply has been helping men worldwide “find their perfect fit” in tailored fashion.

Starting first with an online direct-to-consumer model, Suitsupply carved out a niche in men’s suiting and tailored fashion, which is defined by the essential element of a jacket . “We were an omnichannel retailer before they invented the term ‘omnichannel,’” De Jong says. Today about 30% of company sales are conducted online.

Online shoppers are guided in the fit process with a Fit Finder app, but many men want more handholding in selecting, sizing and styling their looks. That is where the Suitsupply stores come in. “Service is critical today. In our stores shoppers can interact with someone who is an expert in men’s tailored fashion,” he continues.

Being a vertically-integrated company, Suitsupply and Suistudio have complete control of the quality of its garments, including the finest Italian fabrics, design, manufacture and distribution.

By exercising full control over the entire process, the company can offer luxury quality fashion at “attainable prices,” which in the case of men’s suits translates into $2,000 tailored quality at a $500 price point.

Friday May 25th, 2018 Gallery Openings

Houska Gallery – 5-9pm
Houska Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition by artist Julie Malone, featuring all new paintings with an interactive twist. As a colorist, her abstract landscapes push the boundaries of color theory, creating depth and movement that engage the viewer and allow for emotional connections. Julie’s exhibition runs through July 14th.

BONUS: BIRD NEST! Gallery B. featuring artist Jeff Kapfers all new Iconic Bird paintings.

Duane Reed – 5-8pm
Ethan Meyer’s work explores the play between the internal and external aspects of reality as they relate to both mind and spirit. Visually, his work explores the landscapes of consciousness that are continuously morphing and shifting, reflecting our own ever changing state of being. Influenced by Western and Eastern Philosophy, the work explores the mystery that is the sentient condition. Using markings that are both frenetic and spatially dense, Meyer is able to create a web of color and exploration that becomes a visionary and thought provoking play with surface and organic overtones.

Michael Eastman has established himself as one of the world’s leading contemporary photographic artists. The self-taught photographer has spent four decades documenting interiors and facades in cities as diverse as Havana, Paris, Rome, and New Orleans, producing large-scale photographs unified by their visual precision, monumentality, and painterly use of color.
