Mighel - Tailor-in-chief
I started out studying menswear design at London College of Fashion in 2004. Whilst doing apprenticeships on and off Savile Row throughout studying, I perfected my craft and went on to set up my own bespoke tailoring service in London in 2007. As a young up-start in a conservative world I prided himself on delivering looks and suits that were thoroughly modern yet traditionally handmade; fun yet functional & built to last a lifetime. These were the years where I cut my teeth so to speak. Working with high net worth individuals creating entire wardrobes to take them from the boardroom to weddings; cricket matches to travel trips; romantic dates to state functions.
During this time a sizable proportion of my clientele were women, please do visit the Women's page to read more.
Seeking bigger challenges and with an unquenchable wunderlust for travel, I took on a project for a UK made-to-measure tailoring house; to build a state of the art factory in Kathmandu, Nepal. With a little naivety and a lot of gumption the project went well, from there I went on to other projects setting up and assisting tailoring factories across Africa and Asia. After seven years of eye-opening travel, the time came to set down some roots. I yearned to start my factory, learning from the mistakes, mishaps and oversights of others, to create something truly special.

The Vanguard Story
Utilizing Mighel's training on Savile Row and all the experience he gained setting up factories across the world Vanguard offers something truly special. After launching the Vanguard workshop in 2017, Mighel spent nearly a year training each and every one of our craftspeople. From the cutters through to the hand finishers, all went through rigorous training to match the same training Mighel received in London. Although nearly all came with a wealth of experience, it is no secret that tailors in this part of the world cut corners. Thus a lot of the training was to take away all of these bad habits & ensure every Vanguard suit was made in the correct & best way.
From the inception of Vanguard Mighel was adamant that the working environment is aligned with his own morals and values. From working a 5 day week to gender balancing the workforce there are many things we do that set us apart from other tailoring houses in this part of the world.
