A. SAUVAGE

Adrien Victor Sauvage (born 30 May 1983) is a British fashion designer, director and photographer of Ghanaian descent. From the age of 13 he played professional basketball, representing Great Britain at an international level. After taking early retirement from the sport aged 19, Sauvage established himself as a personal shopper, stylist and lifestyle consultant. Using the name Untitled Muse, Sauvage drew clients from society and celebrity circles and the worlds of rock, fashion, film, sports and politics. While working with these clients, Sauvage moved from styling to designing when he realized that men’s sartorial needs were not being met. With no formal training, Sauvage began to create a collection that reflected his personal philosophy Dress Easy ('D.E.'). His vision was to make luxury and sophistication accessible to men with very little effort in a climate which Sauvage saw as dominated by high-fashion catwalk collections detached from function and utility. In January 2010, Sauvage announced the creation of House A. Sauvage and the launch of his first collection, 'This Is Not A Suit'.
