The World's Most Expensive Suit To Be Delivered Today
Designer Alexander Amosu is most famous for his diamond-covered phones but he is also behind the world's most expensive suit. The £70,000 suit took more than 80 hours to create. It will be delivered to a private buyer who has not been named at a party in central London today.The suit is made from material that includes vicuna and qiviuk, the world's most expensive wool, gathered from the Arctic muskox blended with pashmina to create a cloth known as Vanquish II. This is the same fabric used in Brioni's $43,000 suit. Amosu's suit includes nine 18-carat gold and pave-set diamond buttons. The designer tells the Telegraph, "buying an Alexander Amosu suit is the ultimate in luxury."

I wonder how many fittings it took to make it right.

Aside from the marketing, anyone could make the world's most expensive suit from any material--just add some diamonds and gold. Clever marketing, but really useless otherwise.

calling this guy a clothing 'designer' is stretching it. he's some huckster who peddles ringtones and bling-bling to urban youth.
well now we know where all the african dictators go for their clothing.

lol@ urban youth. I guess that's a reference to black youth? The hip-hop industry is fueled by the suburban youth and not the urban youth culture if you're referring to statistics and facts that is and not personal opinion.

I just think this dude is smart! He never ceases to amaze me and one thing he is known for is that he carefully selects his 'target market'! He doesn't believe in the 'crowd mentality' and this alone keeps him going!
Kudos!
