Coming from a corporate career, I have always been fascinated with how the automatic public perception of a man wearing a tailored suit is opulence, one of great importance and of high regards. He is treated with the utmost respect, anyone who chooses to engage him in conversation ensures their approach matches that perception.

When I sat down to design my first collection, I wanted to shift that same initial perception to any women wearing Royale by Rawlins, so I deconstructed a suit and used the various elements. The pocket on the Pocket Square boots, the lapel on the Lapel Stiletto and the bows on the Bow Plisse which are reminiscent of a bow tie.
