In Episode 4 of the BH Podcast ‘Friday Sharpeners’, we broached the topic of ‘fit’ with Australian stylist Jeff Lack who confirmed that it was the most important consideration when it comes to dressing.
Unfortunately, for haute fashion fans, getting those marquee pieces and tailoring collections perfectly suited to your body can be a challenge. Fortunately for fans of Dior, the brand is bringing its ‘Demi-Mesure’ service to Australia in September for the very first time. Boss Hunting is offering the VIP chance to book your appointment and secure the most exclusive suiting experience Down Under.

Usually available in just 14 boutiques around the world, excluding Australia, Dior’s ‘Demi-Mesure’ service offers the possibility of adapting a selection of suits, shirts, blazers, pants, waistcoats and coats from the brand’s permanent collections to the client’s measurements, with a wide choice of fabrics and the option of further personalisation on shirts.
The Demi-Mesure event will take place in Dior’s Sydney Castlereagh St Flagship Boutique and Melbourne Chadstone boutiques from 3-4 Sept and 8-9 Sept respectively. Upon completion of a client fitting, measurements are sent to Italy for a meticulously controlled process of assembly, pressing and hand finishing.
