I love the way he mixes colors into his design. You are making Africa proud of you. I wish i could afford your suits. I tend to imitate your styles as much as i can. Thanks man. My parents are Ghanaian but i was born in Togo.

[@IncandescentBuddha]

Ozwald encapsulates effortless style. Style is so much more than the clothes you wear, it reaches down into the imperceptible pool of your personhood and lets others drink from it. Show me a man who knows how to dress and I will show you a man who knows who he is. An absolute gentleman.

[@ruapraia]

Ozwald Boateng is so awesome! I just adore his talent.

[@mhks68]

for a black man to get this level of achievement and industry respect says something about him and society! I like it. We live in a great world! PEACE!

[@BadAssBen78]

This guy is enthusiasm personified , an absolute Gentleman , well he comes across like that . Keep doing what your doing big fella.

[@garychow6113]

'Style is a reflection of...your character'. That's a big call. Reflection of one's personality, sure, but character?

[@musafirioliver]

Gary Chow here it means "general manner."

[@symontemplar1418]

Public relations and advertising talk

[@jjjjjkkkkk]

The burial tunes in this soundtrack are vibes.

[@symontemplar6513]

He's a cocky bastard. However, I have to grudgingly give respect to him and and his work. He has a unique flair for making stylish suits. Plus, he knows he can rock a suit or anything else he adorns himself in. However, I will stick to my grey, black and navy suits. more power to you Mr Boateng.

[@zukispur5493]

Haringey north London Breda. We're proud of him

[@MsAppleofhiseye]

I love how he looks,dresses and acts. He is a very well dressed man and he the type to look good in ANYTHING! The way he walks...oh my word! I love that he loves COLOUR.

[@SugarRayValentine]

This is how Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten would have looked like.

[@TheYoungSuccess]

Love the use of Burial in the background. Very Classy.

[@bonebanner]

Coolest dude I've seen. So smart on how he explains things

[@curtisb3000]

Hands down...a style icon!

[@MarcosJ-mq4lk]

This guy's got a great look!!

[@atakorah]

@otayba the song is called distant lights by burial.

[@mynameisjunior]

so damn elegant.

[@olu2009ad]

This brother is the truth

[@imusaasumi8349]

TY FOR BEING U , MUCHHH SUPPORT ON YOUR TALENT BROA.

[@aelfc]

1 word. swagger

[@mavericksf16]

I did have a look at OB suits but you can't touch the old traditional tailoring. I had bespoke suits made by Steve Hitchcock and Andrew Ramroop and comparing the two to OB you will instantly note the difference.

[@HugoDoguh]

@otayba It's by an artist called Burial, i can't remember the name of the song off the top of my head though

[@marshalltansil4534]

I love style!

[@viksra]

Does anyone know what sunglasses he has on at 6:17?

[@otayba]

anyone knows the song or singer at the beginning?? Thanks!!!

[@mavericksf16]

Boateng suits are garish due to the use of silly colours. Savile Row has a tradition of creating elegantly designed suits and I like that fact that some of the houses are still preserving this. I had a suit made by Steve Hitchcock last year and wearing it really shows that you have unique tastes and not a flash bastard.

[@trevzzdadevz]

Not that is that significant but the fact that he has used "Burial - Distant Lights" for the intro is quality! :-)

[@DuskAndHerEmbrace13]

And Dog Shelter at 2:50

[@DuskAndHerEmbrace13]

And Pirates at 4:10

[@DuskAndHerEmbrace13]

Okay, I'm just watching it now all of the tracks are Burial

[@robertidonotsharemyfullnam496]

4:37 i thought for a second he said george r r martin instead of giorgio armani XD

[@yolowell]

@MrBOURNE21 Who made you comment police of KZbin? Can't people watch vid and speak their mind? If it's critical so be it.

[@MJP747]

The Colours!!!

[@aliveandconnected]

So true. He has a great ear for music!

[@drstew1]

My dear friend Ozwald . your dead right . Tom Ford is a fine taylor ,designer? But when it come down to James Bond! It has to be British , it has to be Savile Row. Its HRH

[@Godkiller08]

@otayba Burial - Distant lights :)

[@vitez7sky]

"Style is much more important then substance" ...??? True leadership material, this guy will definitely improve on the decaying western culture. I see politics in his future .. We deserve what's coming.

[@Bonitaymorena]

He's so hot and debonaire and his cloths are too die for. I wish my brothers lived closer so I could make them where his suits ughh!! :D

[@razmossis]

Is he a tailor or a designer?

[@frozen06]

razmossis both.

[@fieroflairTV]

Now...if only we can bring this flair to the Bay Area.

[@ashen99]

4 people still don't understand why style matters.

[@TheBravekillah]

@jollyroger1889 Also, if he were 'anti-british' would you not ostracise him, and deem him to be a terrorist?

[@mavericksf16]

He's killed Savile Row tailoring.

[@NLLHW]

Gotta love how vain he is in talking about his own work... Either way, interesting documentary.

[@BarrieMarcia-x2x]

Ignacio Circle

[@tn458italia]

is the camera man having a fit? STAY IN FOCUS!!!

[@projectbrownman]

Style is substance. If you don't understand that you're just carrying yourself through this life. Ideals and philosophies are stylish, thoughts are stylish, lives are stylish. 'Lifestyle' is not an accident of neology. History is trend. Zeitgeist reflects and creates who we are at a given moment, And zeitgeist is style. I'll stop now.

[@Fuelove1]

'No-one who makes suits is a creative' - what a stupid statement. So those who have studied for years in design or fashion courses at colleges or universities who end up designing for big fashion labels have no creativity? I'm a graphic designer but I'm going into men's tailoring yet I've always been told I'm highly creative all my life.

[@GeraldSmallbear]

I'm glad you're angry, but I'd rather see you put your anger into individuation. Society has deemed you incapable of dressing yourself and taken the responsibility out of your hands. Just try finding menswear with a fraction of the creativity of women's and then build your own wardrobe and wear it to work. Find out how free you really are. Would you be able to dress yourself, would you even know wear to look? Would you try to dress foolish on purpose? Courage and Character, or shame obeisance.

[@YouPenetrate]

lol, who does he (and everyone else here!) think they are!.

[@specialk22tt]

Very nice tailoring; however, this guy EXUDES pride. Humility is completely lost with this guy. Pride before the fall.

[@TheBravekillah]

@jollyroger1889 It is also important for you to note that black people play a pivotal role in the history of Britain; cast your mind back to WW2, the black participation was sizeable, and in particularly the fact that Britain was made great from the contribution of blacks. To believe that Britishness has a single racial connotation is quite a limited perception, and perhaps you should feel a sense of honour that what you deem to british transcends racial barriers.

[@Exverlobter]

His ties are so thin and small. Awkward

[@MODZ4EVER1]

lol

[@stevendouglas3860]

He's Not a nice human , I heard some one say in Saville Row.

[@GeraldSmallbear]

He produces uniforms for people who don't have a choice. That's closer to Facism than creativity. No-one who makes suits is a creative. At least the makers of the Burqa are honest and not dripping with pretension. It makes me sick to see every man dressed in a uniform in a supposedly free society, it's a self-delusion, it really is, but of course Freedom is Slavery, isn't it.

[@tommygoogyx]

This guy is the definition of pretentious

[@olu2009ad]
