Drop Culture: Bespoke by Duncan Quinn
Just about eight years ago, bespoke suit designer Duncan Quinn opened his first boutique that houses his namesake line right at Nolita – a charming neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan where sprawling upscale shops and hip cafes are common scenery. His affinity for excellent clothing is derived from the Saville Row suits he received from his father during his late adolescence. Having studied and lived most of his years in the south of France, Quinn, who hailed from London, is touted to have had a major contribution to the resurgence of men’s tailoring in the USA thanks to his somewhat jaunty, slim-fitting suits that have come to define his line. In this new video prepared by Drop Culture, Duncan Quinn shares some interesting information about his brand as he talks about the finest fabrics, some inspirations and how he adapts to every customer’s personality to create a first-rate, bespoke suit.
