INTERVIEW
REMUS UOMO B
In conversation with…
One of the first menswear brands to be attending Footwear & Fashion LIVE in August, Ana Lambert caught up with Matthew Rawlings from Douglas & Grahame to find out more about its formalwear brand Remus Uomo and what it’ll be bringing to the show in August…
uilt on a long family history of clothes making in Belfast, third generation Irish drapers, brothers Adam and Michael Finlay, bring creative vision to Remus Uomo, an independent menswear brand.
The brand first found its footing in formalwear, with its recent collections highlighting modern, well-tailored, understated clothes.
With the ever-changing clothing industry,
Remus Uomo has built its brand off of its dedication to sophisticated, modern menswear that bridges the gap between formalwear and smart casual clothing.
“At the heart of Remus Uomo is a commitment to contemporary design, quality product and strong retail partnerships,” says Matthew Rawlings, Commercial Director for Douglas & Grahame, “those values influence every part of the business; from the fabrics and fits we develop, to the way we support our stockists and present the brand at retail level.” Even with the brands’ evolution, Remus Uomo has stayed true to its core principles of confident styling, accessible luxury and attention to detail by creating collections that are defined by its ethos.
Q&A
Q: Remus Uomo has become a recognised name in menswear. What has been the secret to building and sustaining the brand? Matthew Rawlings: For Remus Uomo, success has come from understanding the contemporary menswear customer and evolving alongside changing lifestyles and trends. Since the brand was established, we’ve focused on delivering sharp, design-led collections that combine quality craftsmanship with strong commercial appeal.
The menswear market is constantly moving, so it’s important to stay agile, creative and connected to what consumers are looking for from their wardrobe today. We’ve built the brand around versatility; creating collections that move seamlessly between occasion wear, tailoring and smart casual dressing while always maintaining a strong emphasis on fit, detail and wearability.
At the same time, we’ve stayed true to the core principles that define Remus Uomo: confident styling, accessible luxury and attention to detail. That balance between innovation and consistency has allowed the brand to continue growing both in the UK and in Ireland.
