I'm all about capturing the American dream right now
quote from Ozwald Boatneg

There is a great article on Ozwald The Great (this is my nickname for him. His given name is Ozwald Boatneg) in the DenverPost.

A very important fact:

Known for his wildly colorful, slim-fitting suits, Boateng was the youngest tailor - and the first black - to open a shop on Savile Row in London. (He was 28 at the time.)

This was a question that was featured on Black Voices on AOL.

What are your thoughts about the new metrosexual American male?
Men are much more aware now of the way they dress more than ever and this is a trend around the world. That’s just because women are making the same sort of demands on the men as the men used to make on the women, ‘Six-pack. Keep yourself fit.’
Even myself, if you told me 12 years ago that I would be interested in facial scrubs and mud mask, I would have told you to go away -- absolutely impossible. But there you go.
The bottom line is men are becoming more conscious of the way they look.

Are you smitten yet?
Check out his show House of Boateng, an eight-episode documentary series airs on the Sundance channel on thursday at 10:00pm.
I have added a banner at the bottom of this page.
I am going to do my part in trying to support this very dashing man.
