Meeting Farage, it's no surprise that he is as well turned out as the stylish men who wear his clothes. He is wearing jeans, a crisp pink shirt and tailored black jacket (both his own designs), pointed Costume National shoes and Alain Mikli black-rimmed glasses.

His look is sharp and tailored yet laid-back - the kind of style that works as well in Sydney as it would in Paris or Milan. In this own words, it's "traditional tailoring with a modern twist".

"I always wanted to wear a suit but had no reason," says Farage, who is passionate about suiting due to the confident image it imparts. When he started his business six years ago, at just 21, he felt there was a gap in the market for 'quality fabric and the perfect fit'.

Farage has since successfully filled that gap and proudly tells me that Australian men are taking more pride in their appearance because they are wanting to be taken more seriously. This can only mean that there will be no rest for this stylish designer.
