Practical power dressing

MANILA, Philippines - Wearing suits is power dressing. And for males in the corporate world and for those trying to climb the corporate ladder, a suit is an investment. But don’t just get any off-the-rack suit. Choose the one that is made by an established brand that has built a reputable status for quality and craftsmanship. One of them is Michel Andre (from the French equivalent of Michael Andrew), the mother company that started in 1987 subcontracting work for garment export companies; and then manufactured for local brands such as Bench.

The perfect suit is all about fit and every individual’s shape is different. With only two to three percent of the market, one can realistically purchase an off-the-rack suit without any alteration.

Michel Andre offers luxury and leisure wear barongs, suits, jackets and shirts in stores nationwide — notably in SM, The Landmark and Robinsons Department Store. Its mother company, M2 Creative Inc., also accepts made-to-order suits jackets, office and formal barongs.
