Basketball star Dwayne Wade rocks Kente tuxedo by Adrien Sauvage

Ghana’s pride, the kente is going global in an urban and contemporary form, more and more! Miami Heat basketball star, Dwayne Wade recently styled it up in  a Kente double breasted tuxedo by British- Ghanaian fashion designer, Adrien Sauvage. Adrien Victor Sauvage is an English fashion designer, director and photographer of Ghanaian descent. The basketball player-turned-designer has earned his stripes in the industry making stars like Yaasin Bey (formerly Mos def), supermodel Edfie Campbell amongst countless others, avid fans. Adrien Sauvage was born in Wandsworth, London. From the age of 13 he played professional basketball, representing Great Britain at an International level. After taking an early retirement from basketball, Sauvage began working as a stylist and personal shopper under the name of Untiled Muse with female clients of a socially high standing position. Whilst working with these clients, Sauvage began to style the husbands of his clients, and quickly moved from styling to designing when he saw that their sartorial needs could not be met. With no formal training, Sauvage created looks which were in keeping of his mantra ‘DE’ – Dress Easy. In January 2010, Sauvage announced the creation of the A. Sauvage brand. Sauvage was later joined in this venture by his former client and muse George Lamb. The collection was received instantly by world renowned department store Harrods, and London boutique Matches. To act as a lookbook for his collection, Sauvage began curating photography of famous and successful ambassadors in his suits, including Bill Nighy, Alex Turner and Miles Kane, Spike Jonze and Coco Sumner.]]>
