Label Text:Agi Mdumulla and design partner Sam Cotton are shaking up traditional British menswear with quirky, imaginative designs. This suit’s inspiration came from a collection that Mdumulla designed at age four (the drawings were safeguarded by his mother). The design duo also consulted focus groups of children, resulting in a playful, pull-apart Velcro suit and primary-colored knits.
