Morning suits felt generic, so I wore national dress to Royal Ascot
As a menswear editor, I'm approached nearly every year to write some kind of men's style guide for Royal Ascot – and I always decline. The uniform for each enclosure has changed only in small degrees for the best part of a century, so it rarely piques my interest. At least they allow divorcees these days. The pomp and ceremony surrounding such occasions are meant to show a country and its people at their best, so 'national dress' – the most symbolic, patriotic attire worn for official events – is de rigueur. But what many top-hatted chaps wilting beneath their starched collars and tailcoats don't realise is that there's more than one uniform to wear to Royal Ascot. I'm lucky enough to be invited to the Royal Enclosure every year, and each time I admire the guests who reject the generic look and instead adopt national dress – a long-standing part of Ascot's stylistic heritage. For example, traditional dress includes the Japanese wearing kimonos and guests from the Arab world in thawbs. It made me wonder: why am I here wearing another man's clothes? While I was born British, my bloodlines stretch much further afield. My parents were born in what was then British Malaya – now Malaysia – and I am Malaysian Chinese and Malaysian Indian (that's the short version); two groups that have long contributed to the rich melting pot of Malaysian culture. To me, nationality is what's on your passport, but heritage and ethnicity are rooted in the lands you are culturally tied to. So, while I'm British by nationality, I consider myself Malaysian, Chinese and Indian – and I'm proud of all three. When I was growing up in the UK, in a predominantly white area, I was the token Asian kid. People would ask me where I was from, but it was usually out of curiosity rather than hostility. Nowadays, in our PC–obsessed times, when Caucasians ask where I'm from, I respond by asking whether they want to know where I live or what my ethnicity is. They're often mortified by the suggestion that they're really enquiring about my ethnicity – and I have no idea why (look at my face and listen to my accent; something doesn't add up). If you don't ask, you don't learn – and that's key to understanding our fellow humans. But I digress. Back to the task at hand – an ensemble for Royal Ascot. I began looking into the logistics of wearing the national dress of my heritage. Strangely, it seemed a rather grey area within the very defined dress code guidelines on the Ascot website, which states: 'Overseas visitors are welcome to wear the formal national dress of their country… if your national dress does not include a headpiece, then you do not need to wear one.' Overseas? What if you culturally identify with an 'overseas' nation but don't hold its citizenship? I wrote to the Ascot PR board to clarify this. It took some time, but I eventually received a response stating that I was welcome to wear the national dress of my heritage 'as long as it adheres to the national dress codes of that nation.' Okay, clear enough. For me, that meant the Baju Melayu – traditionally Malay attire but worn by all races at official government ceremonies. While I am not ethnically Malay, according to the guidelines, this was what would pass muster with the Royal Enclosure stewards – and hopefully not send them into a clammy sweat when deciding whether to admit me. The Baju Melayu developed from Islamic clothing in 15th-century Malacca, when North Indian traders came to the Malay peninsula, which is why it resembles the salwar kameez – the long tunic shirt style and flowing trousers common in South and Central Asia. This coordinated two-piece suit is wrapped with a samping at the waist – a short sarong-like garment made from an ornate silk-cotton brocade fabric known as songket, traditionally woven with gold or silver threads on wooden looms in a vast array of patterns, each with its own significance. The headgear is either a songkok – a black fez-like lozenge-shaped cap – or, for the most regal occasions, the tanjak or tengkolok, which is essentially a songket fabric crown wrapped around the head; each Malaysian state has its own specific shape. The style I'm sporting here is from Kedah – originally the historic state of Penang Island, where my mother hails from. I could also have worn the Perak tanjak in homage to my father's home state, but I didn't like the shape as much. And I can attest it's a lot more airy than a topper, thanks to its open-crown design. It's a pretty fine-looking outfit, and I shall be proud to wear it to shine a spotlight on this lesser-known national dress – and hopefully be a little more comfortable in the often sultry weather at the racecourse. If anything, I'd like to encourage more attendees of such occasions to do the same. If you don't practice your cultural customs, they're soon consumed by the tidal wave of globalisation. Several decades ago, on my first visit to the Big Apple (New York City), I visited the Ellis Island museum and was struck by the displays of parcels wrapped with all manner of different knots. I learnt that immigration officials could tell where people hailed from just by the way they had knotted the string on their luggage. All these cultural quirks and nuances have long been lost in the mists of time. But I hope we can at least preserve our national dress, wherever we hail from, to celebrate the differences that make up the rich tapestry of human culture – before the world morphs into one generic white Gap T-shirt. Or standard morning suit, in this instance. How did it go on the day? On the drive to the racecourse, the first hurdle in my mind was entering the Royal Enclosure in a mode of dress that probably isn't very familiar to the stewards. But it passed without ceremony. They barely batted an eyelid. They were more concerned about the possibility of me smuggling in food in my raffia bag (but didn't even want to look in my Tanjak). After passing the gilded gates, I couldn't shake off the swarm of photographers – mildly annoying, as I needed to pee after spending two hours in a car from east London, trying to sit in a way that wouldn't wrinkle my clothes. Walking through the grounds of the Royal Enclosure and stepping into the turf-level Summerhouse, I received many smiling, admiring and curious glances, but no one approached me. Perhaps they thought I didn't speak English – or more likely, were too timid for fear of putting a foot wrong. A colleague informed me that, in this locale, people are concerned about breaching protocol. Perhaps they thought I was some minor Sumatran princeling. It was a different story once the booze started flowing. Several top-hatted and fascinator-clad couples came over to compliment me – and they knew what it was. 'I lived in Singapore in 1988/1991/etc – it's beautiful.' One chap, part of an all-male group in toppers, came up to say, 'You look a damn sight better than us.' But of course, the biggest fans were women. They had competition with their headgear, after all. Endless pictures. And compliments. I also received several curtsies, which made me chuckle. Who did they think I was?! Later, while wandering around Car Park 3 searching for my driver, I heard a familiar lilt shout, 'You're Malaysian!' It was another driver (not mine, sadly), from Kuala Lumpur, who was thrilled with my outfit. 'I've not seen this for years. Thank you for promoting our culture,' he said. It was probably my happiest memory from the day – even though we were standing on a sun-baked patch of dusty gravel.

John Tighe Named CEO of Tailored Brands
There's been a changing of the guard at Tailored Brands. Long-time men's merchant John Tighe, who joined the retailer in 2021, will become chief executive officer on Aug. 5. Tighe, who served most recently as president of the parent company to Men's Wearhouse and Jos. A. Bank Clothiers, will succeed Peter Sachse, who will transition to executive chairman next month. More from WWD EXCLUSIVE: Seed Health's New CEO Cathrin Bowtell Discusses Sprouts Launch and What's Next for the Microbiome Company Prince William Hands Chanel's Leena Nair Honor for Services to Retail and Consumer Sector Woolrich Has a New CEO Sachse, who spent 34 years at Macy's, stepped in to rescue the menswear retailer in 2021 shortly after it emerged from bankruptcy. Sachse, who had served on the board of the Houston-based company, initially shared the CEO post with Bob Hull, another board member whose background included 17 years at Lowe's Cos. They started as interim co-CEOs in March 2021 and were named permanent co-CEOs in March 2022. Sachse was named sole CEO in February of 2024. Before joining Tailored Brands as executive vice president and chief customer officer, Tighe had been president of Peerless Clothing and also held leadership positions at J.C. Penney Co. Inc., including chief merchant and executive vice president. Following the announcement on Thursday, the board of Tailored Brands, said: 'Peter has been central to Tailored Brands' turnaround and the board could not be more pleased with the results over the past four and a half years. Peter and the leadership team have reimagined all four of the company's banners, completely changed the merchandising and marketing strategies, drove operational efficiencies, and developed a culture of accountability while delivering three of the best profit years in recent company history. His focus on people and culture is paramount to our success and we will continue to benefit from his efforts for many years to come.' Sachse added, 'The hallmark of a strong and resilient organization is a well-developed succession plan, and John's promotion highlights the thoughtful, holistic talent strategy Tailored Brands has established. Over the past four years, John has been instrumental in our company's ability to anticipate market shifts and evolve with our customers as he architected nuanced merchandising, planning, marketing, and value-driven pricing strategies. There is no doubt he is the right successor at the right time, and I'm excited to see Tailored Brands continue to thrive under his leadership.' Tighe said that as CEO, he hopes to continue to 'deliver on our company's purpose and value proposition. I look forward to Peter's continued mentorship as he takes on his new role and want to thank the board, Peter and the entire leadership team for their support and confidence. I'm grateful to work alongside such a talented and passionate leadership team as well as the more than 14,000 team members who wake up every day to put our customers at the center of every decision. We wouldn't be where we are today without their tireless dedication, and I look forward to unlocking the potential of all our banners as a team.' Tailored Brands operates more than 1,000 stores under the Men's Wearhouse, Jos. A. Bank, Moores and K&G Fashion Superstore banners. Although the company is no longer public, earlier this year, Sachse pointed to an investor presentation from an ICR conference in January that revealed the company had sales of $2.6 billion in fiscal 2023 with adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $406 million. This was below fiscal 2022 when sales hit $2.8 billion and adjusted EBITDA was $477 million. The company attributed the dip to the fact that fiscal 2022 was the 'year of the wedding.' Of its divisions, Men's Wearhouse accounted for 64 percent of sales, Jos. A. Bank 15 percent and Moores 7 percent.

Looking for Men's Clothes in New York? Start on Orchard Street.
At the turn of the 20th century, Manhattan's Lower East Side was the most densely populated place in the world — a census from 1900 counted over 1,000 people per acre in the 10th ward, which included much of the present-day neighborhood. (Today, the L.E.S. averages 135 people per acre.) The area, often considered to begin south of Houston Street and stretch west from the East River to the Bowery, has since seen its tenements and factories replaced with restaurants and bars. In recent years, it's also emerged as a shopping district to rival Manhattan's SoHo or Madison Avenue — though with its largely independent boutiques, it's undeniably more charming. A wave of openings on and around Orchard Street, in particular, have solidified the area as a strong destination for men's wear. Here's where to start: Kartik Research, 61 Orchard Street The designer Kartik Kumra established his label, Kartik Research, in 2021 in his hometown, New Delhi, where the brand opened its first shop in 2024. Since April, Kumra's embroidered camp shirts, quilted jackets and shibori-dyed button-ups have been available here, at his first U.S. outpost. Kumra collaborated with the Mumbai gallery Aequo to source the space's furniture, including the dressing room's woven bamboo panels. Le Père, 90 Orchard Street The New York-based men's wear label Le Père was founded by a collective of friends from the music and fashion industries in 2022 as a vehicle for artistic collaborations. Past collections have featured shirts printed with imagery by the photographer Duane Michals, the graphic designer Henock Sileshi and the artist Ema Gaspar. The brand opened a yellow-accented retail space on the corner of Orchard and Broome Streets in 2023, where it sells its striped soccer jerseys and knit pullover sweatshirts alongside cargo pants and layered shirting.

Jonathan Anderson: Fellow fashionistas on the Irishman guiding Dior's future
In two weeks' time in Paris , Irish designer Jonathan Anderson will make his much-heralded debut as creative director of Dior , the most famous fashion house in the world, with his first collection of men's wear. His appointment will bring all the collections – menswear, womenswear and haute couture – under the wing of one designer for the first time since the death of founder Christian Dior in 1957. Dior himself came to Dublin in 1950 to open the Dior boutique in Brown Thomas . A jewel in the crown of fashion conglomerate LVMH's 16 fashion brands with a huge global reach, Dior quadrupled sales to more than €9 billion in 2023 but saw them decrease to €8.7 billion in 2024. Given the current slowdown in the luxury sector, which in France contributes more than 4 per cent of the country's GDP, Anderson's role will be challenging. If Anderson also continues his own brand JWA and his long-established collaboration with Uniqlo, that will amount to 18 collections a year, making him, at the age of 41, fashion's most outstanding and prolific designer. 'He plays by his own rules – fearlessly,' Anna Wintour of Vogue has said of him. 'He knows what people want before they know what they want,' observes Paris-based Irish couturier Sean Byrne . 'He has created a universe for himself which a lot of designers can't do very well.' READ MORE Jonathan William Anderson was born in Magherafelt, Co Derry in 1984, eldest son of the celebrated former Irish rugby captain and coach Willie Anderson , a farmer's son from Sixmilecross in Co Tyrone, and his wife Heather Buckley, a teacher. Anderson's younger brother Thomas, a lawyer, works with him as operations director and his sister Chloe is a pharmacist. They are a close-knit family. [ Dior appoints Irishman Jonathan Anderson as sole creative director Opens in new window ] Jonathan's talent, drive and love of drama were evident from an early age, as well as a strong business sense, his father has mother is the daughter of a talented English textile designer, Jim Buckley, who came to work in Northern Ireland and whom Jonathan has always credited as a huge influence in his life. After leaving the local Protestant grammar school where he was diagnosed as dyslexic, Anderson studied acting in New York – 'full-on Stanislavski for two years' – before dropping out and returning to Dublin where he landed a job in Prada menswear in Brown Thomas. Team captain Willie Anderson, Jonathan's father, and the rest of the Ireland side famously face down New Zealand as the All Blacks preform the haka at Lansdowne Road in 1989. Photograph: Billy Stickland/Inpho That period also saw him come out as gay. At a recent award ceremony at Trinity College Dublin , he raised laughter describing how much he enjoyed partying in Dublin at the time, asking: 'and does that club called The George still exist?' University Philosophical Society presented The Honorary Patronage to JW Anderson. Photograph: Nick Bradshaw In the store, his imaginative merchandising attracted the attention of Prada's right-hand woman, the late Manuela Pavesi, who offered him a job in London. With her encouragement, he applied to every fashion college in Britain 'and every single one turned me down'. An offer finally came from the London College of Fashion at the then newly established menswear course. When he graduated in 2005 with first-class honours, he started styling and consulting, rebranding a luxury British underwear company Sunspel while his sell-out collaborations with Topshop, Aldo and Swarovski marked him out as one to watch. With financial support from his family, he launched his first menswear collection in 2008, becoming quickly known for his groundbreaking street style aesthetic which combined creativity with commercial appeal. Designer Jonathan Anderson walks the runway at the JW Anderson Spring/Summer 2024 show in Milan. Photograph: Pietro S D'Aprano/Getty His shows, upending conventional notions of male/female attire, always attracted attention. 'Clothing makes people question identity. Their codes question gender – why should buttons be on different sides for men than women?' he once queried. Andrew Bell, an Irish designer who now works with the Polene handbag brand in Paris, recalls working with Anderson, one of 17 interns in the summer of 2013, as JWA was expanding. 'It was five-six days a week, 12-hour days on menswear, so it was super intense. He was moody, intense, a perfectionist, maybe not the warmest, but a visionary, extremely cultured and well read. He allowed us freedom to explore and experiment which was quite unique for a designer at the time.' South Korea footballer Hwang Hee-Chan poses with the Loewe puzzle bag. Photograph: by Han Myung-Gu/WireImage [ Irish designer JW Anderson named as one of Time's most influential people for 2024 Opens in new window ] That collection for men, with its skirts, medieval-style tunics with ruffled boots and boiled wool tops 'was such a statement of masculinity', says Bell. He describes Anderson's managerial skills and leadership qualities as 'like an orchestra conductor who can synthesise discordant harmonies that work. He is a true creative director'. Anderson's big break came that year when LVMH took a 46 per cent stake in his brand and hired him to helm the Madrid-based leatherwear brand Loewe. Behind the deal was Delphine Arnault , daughter of LVMH chief executive Bernard Arnault. She is now chief executive of Dior so her association with Anderson has been a long one. As the fashion world learned how to pronounce the name Loewe ('low–ehvey'), Anderson immediately became involved in every aspect of its rebranding, aiming to turn it into a cultural rather than a fashion brand. Under his stewardship from 2014 to 2024, the sleepy Spanish luxury brand (its sales in 1996 hovered around $2 million) was revived and turned into a global superstar business of $2 billion. I am very happy for Jonathan and his new appointment. He has made stimulating and exciting work over the last decade and I am looking forward to seeing that energy at Dior — Simone Rocha His first bag, the Puzzle , based on an origami construction, became – and remains – a best seller. One of his proudest achievements was establishing the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize, an annual award that recognises excellence among makers. His witty designs made headlines – whether pigeon bags, heirloom tomato-inspired clutches, upside-down rose-heeled stilettos, balloon sandals or, more recently, beautiful hooped floral dresses for spring 2025.

Photograph:Models present creations from the Spring/Summer 2024 Womenswear collection by Jonathan Anderson for Loewe during Paris Fashion Week His collaborations with global superstars and celebrities tend to fire up the internet: Rihanna, whose red leather corset at the 2023 Super Bowl revealed her pregnancy; Beyoncé's see-through catsuit with black hand motifs for her Renaissance tour, or his costumes for Zendaya for Luka Guadagnino's movie Challengers last year, are just some examples. His campaigns are always talking points, notably the one with then 88-year-old Maggie Smith modelling one of his celebrated Puzzle bags in October 2023. His makeover of a post-Bond Daniel Craig in the Loewe menswear winter 2024 campaign in cargo trousers, leather jacket, chunky boots with a multicoloured handknit decorated with a poppy abstract print by US artist Richard Hawkins was described by GQ as 'kooky, eclectic and really f**king cool'. According to Bell, Anderson is 'obsessed with the zeitgeist and so good at encapsulating the moment. He is now head of the biggest fashion brand in the world. Whatever he does is going to be super exciting.' Moooood — NFL (@NFL) Rihanna performs at the Super Bowl. Photograph: Timothy A Clary/AFP/Getty Images Irish designer Simone Rocha says: 'I am very happy for Jonathan and his new appointment. He has made stimulating and exciting work over the last decade and I am looking forward to seeing that energy at Dior.' Another Irish designer, Sorcha O'Raghallaigh, has remained a fan since she and Anderson were selected for Create, a showcase for design talent in Ireland, in its first year in Brown Thomas in 2011. 'On every aspect of Loewe, he has been strong – the imagery, the campaigns and exciting pieces on the runway. His accessories are always on point. I still cherish a pair of ballerina shoes with ankle ribbons and gold hourglass heels bought when I was working in Italy. I can't wait to see what he will do at Dior," O'Raghallaigh says. [ 'Forget about glamour': Jonathan Anderson offers advice to would-be fashion designers as he receives TCD honour Opens in new window ] An avid art collector and voracious reader, Anderson's cultural references are wide and all-embracing. The pale pastel shades in his collection for spring 2022, for instance, were based on his viewing of a newly restored 15th century Pontormo painting in Florence. He regularly collaborates with artists he admires. His ability to combine both the avant-garde and the commercial remains consistently his forte. 'I am always trying to find subtlety in newness. I am always curious about other people's creativity. I have two incredible teams and if you have the right people around you, they prevent you from blowing up. Some have been with me for 11 years, some for 15 years. I can be tough, but I always hire people that I admire and have potential. I want people to challenge me and feel able to express themselves. I don't like yes people,' he said in a recent interview with Bella Freud, Former womenswear director at Brown Thomas, Shelly Corkery, reckons he will widen the appeal of Dior while keeping its DNA. 'He has a good commercial eye, is a visionary and, like Prada, pushes boundaries. There is always novelty in his collections. With his Loewe logo denim, little vests and T-shirts that young people could afford, he widened its demographic. He will modernise Dior. He will have more fun with the brand and widen the ready to wear so that a younger customer can buy into it.' A gifted communicator, with the voice of a trained actor (which he is) Anderson is a storyteller, loquacious, always adept at articulating his ideas. He spoke frankly and thoughtfully to Bella Freud in a recent interview about his background and his approach to fashion, and he described how his mother narrowly escaped the Omagh bombing in 1998. Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz attend the Loewe 2025 show as part of Paris Fashion Week. Photograph:'Growing up, the North of Ireland was a complex place to live and it's important for me that I did grow up there and it helps me understand what I am today. The great thing about Ireland is storytelling and young people are curious, want to know you and that you believe in what you are selling, so you have to prove that you are not selling a sterile dream – otherwise it gets very corporate,' he said. Christian Dior himself was famously superstitious, believing in signs and symbols. Predicting the future is what great fashion designers do. Willie Anderson in his autobiography, Crossing the Line, tells a story of how a younger Jonathan, given the intense pressure around one of his early shows, decided holy water might give it a boost. 'There wasn't a lot of that around the house, but [Catholic] friends rode to the rescue delivering enough to float a small pleasure cruiser. Heather was on hand when the models were getting dressed. 'Jonny, will I sprinkle a bit on each model or how do you want to do this?' she asked. 'It's already sorted Mum,' he replied, 'It's in the steam irons so we can spread it!''
