History
The London designer, by way of Ghana, launched his namesake label in 1994 and has since become known for his tailoring skills. In fact, plenty have taken notice, including the folks who made Ocean's Thirteen and The Matrix—Boateng designed bespoke costumes for both films. In his years in the industry, he opened a store on London's legendary Savile Row, making him the youngest and first African to do so, and was the creative director at Givenchy from 2004 to 2007. He also undoubtedly helped revolutionize suiting. But this is no surprise, considering he had handmade suits made for him when he was a kid.
