Men’s style guide: Montreal’s Modasuite offers bespoke 2.0
“It’s not a tailor; it’s not ready-made. It’s a bit of both,” says designer Dimitri-Chris Alexiou. By taking the bespoke experience online, the gents at Modasuite (modasuite.com) are able to bring customizable wears, at a click, straight to your doorstep. “Modasuite is for the average young- to middle-aged professional. Men who don’t have time to shop,” says Alexiou, who created the 2010 collection for the new service. “Hence, the web platform.”
Nestling itself somewhere between high-end and mass—dress shirts go for about $80, suits start a $400—Modasuite offers stylish made-to-measure clothes, from business and casual basics to edgier and flashier pieces, such as bold checked shirts with contrasting collar and cuffs. Having built a comprehensive and savvy system for their (web)bespoke tailoring platform, Modasuite works to get you the right fit while you surf from home. It’s this easy:
1. Browse the site and live-chat with the company’s styling representatives, who are on-hand seven days a week for advice and support.
2. Select an item. Customize it by opting for different collar, cuff and vent options, or choose from an array of patterns. “Which is my way of interacting with the client,” says Alexiou.
3. Create a personal profile. Tutorials teach you how to measure yourself. (This is where the live-chat comes in handy). Measurements are closely monitored and if there are any glaring inconsistencies, Modasuite will contact you straight away.
4. Check out, and receive your order in about two to three weeks.
You can also receive the same services at the Modasuite store in Montreal (a Toronto flagship is set for fall) or one of their temporary pop-up events, which will be announced on their website prior to the opening. The first in in Toronto from May 6 to 9, followed by Ottawa and beyond. If anything that comes to your doorstep needs extra adjustments, you can swing by a Modasuite location or one of their partner tailors.
