These 4 master tailors are shaking up the British made-to-measure establishment
Hardy Amies (Mehmet Ali)
A Savile Row fixture since 1946, Hardy Amies (who created the costumes for Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey) has been given a makeover thanks to its young creative director, Mehmet Ali, who added a much-needed dose of color to the brand's sartorial heritage, and isn't afraid to wear his suits with Nikes.

Kilgour (Carlo Brandelli)
Carlo Brandelli's minimalist designs bring a 21st-century spin to traditional men's suiting, without forgoing elegance: His flannel blazers, fastened by prism-like lapels that hide the buttons, are nothing short from revolutionary.Kilgour.com
A.Sauvage (Adrien Sauvage)
At 29, British-Ghanaian tailor Adrien Sauvage operates from a small studio in Shoreditch, in the heart of East London's fashion hub, where he brings some African flair to noted clients such as Jude Law and Dwayne Wade. ASauvage.com

Norton & Sons (Patrick Grant)
Perhaps the most handsome couturier in London (sadly, he's straight,) Patrick Grant pushes the boundaries of tailoring at Norton & Sons, the Savile Row institution. Meanwhile, his latest offerings for E. Tautz (pictured, above,) the ready-to-wear label he's spearheading, included flared bermuda shorts and chunky denim T-shirts -- a much less conservative looks for business types. NortonandSons.co.uk
