Michael Andrews Live at Pitti Uomo
At this year’s Pitti Uomo, we gathered for a spirited conversation on the state of menswear today—and the stories shaping its future. Hosted by Matt Hranek of WM Brown and set at the House Of Celebration, The St. Regis Florence, the panel brought together voices from across the bespoke world: Michael Andrews, Angel Ramos, Brian Sacawa, and Caroline Andrew. From craftsmanship to culture, emerging talents to timeless traditions, this was a candid, style-forward dialogue worth revisiting.
Michael Andrews
Michael brought his perspective as a leader in modern tailoring to the panel at Pitti Uomo. Known for redefining the bespoke experience in New York and beyond, Michael spoke about the critical role of exceptional client service—how understanding a client’s lifestyle, preferences, and aspirations is just as important as fit or fabric. His insights underscored the idea that true luxury is not just made-to-measure, but made-to-serve.
Angel Ramos
Angel Ramos, founder of ANGEL RAMOS | New York, added a bold and personal dimension to the conversation. Renowned for his distinctive house style—effortlessly elegant, yet unmistakably his own—Angel discussed the inspiration behind his aesthetic and the importance of authenticity in design. His approach, grounded in individuality and storytelling, reminded the room that great style always begins with a clear point of view.
Brian Sacawa
Brian Sacawa, founder of He Spoke Style, joined the panel to share his perspective as one of the most influential voices in men’s fashion media, not to mention his decade long relationship with Michael and the MAB team. With a background in both music and menswear, Brian brings a thoughtful, refined lens to his content. During the discussion, he reflected on the evolving relationship between creator and audience, and how meaningful, consistent storytelling fosters trust, influence, and connection in an increasingly digital world.
Caroline Andrew
Caroline Andrew, founder of Caroline Andrew London, brought a fresh yet deeply rooted perspective to the panel at Pitti Uomo. Her much needed perspective as a woman on Savile Row was invaluable. Known for her sharp, contemporary tailoring that honors British sartorial tradition, Caroline has built a reputation for dressing some of the world’s most discerning men. During the conversation, she spoke about the evolving expectations of modern clients and how she balances heritage craftsmanship with a modern perspective. Her insights highlighted the importance of precision, adaptability, and an intuitive understanding of personal style in today’s tailoring landscape.
Matt Hranek
Matt Hranek, founder and editor of WM Brown, served as the panel’s host and guiding voice. With his signature blend of charm, curiosity, and connoisseurship, Matt brought the conversation to life—drawing out personal stories, stylistic philosophies, and shared values from each panelist. A true tastemaker across fashion, travel, food, and automotive culture, Matt’s involvement reminded everyone that style is never just about clothes—it’s about how you live. His presence at the helm made the discussion as thoughtful and enjoyable as it was insightful.
Why These Conversations Matter
At its best, custom tailoring is more than fabric and fit—it’s a reflection of identity, culture, and craftsmanship. Panels like this one offer a rare chance to step back from the day-to-day and engage in deeper conversations about where the industry is heading and why it matters. Whether you’re a client, a creator, or simply someone who appreciates great style, these dialogues connect us to the people and principles behind the clothing. We’re proud to be part of that conversation—and even prouder to share it with you.
