The celebrated menswear designer joins BoF's Imran Amed to discuss the evolution of his career in fashion from selling secondhand clothes to building his own brands.Background: At first glance, Oliver Spencer's story might seem like a fashion fairytale. In just a matter of a few years, he went from selling secondhand garments in a stall on London's Portobello Road to seeing actors wearing his bespoke waistcoats in the 1994 film “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” putting his formalwear label Favourbrook into the spotlight. But in the subsequent years, Spencer faced the challenges that come with running an independent fashion brand: from debt to self-doubt while aiming to reach profitability milestones. “Small is beautiful. You have to have a certain amount of business turnover to get to these levels, but you don't need hundreds of millions [of dollars] to run a profitable brand,” says Spencer.Key Insights:The British designer's formalwear background — which includes creating looks for highbrow events like the Royal Ascot — informed his approach to menswear, even given today's inclinations for toned-down dressing. “Just because you're wearing casual, doesn't mean you're not dressing right,” says Spencer. Even as consumer preferences change, however, Spencer believes it's just as critical to maintain clear sight of the brand's original vision as it is to evolve it. “I will have one foot stuck in the past and the rest of my body walking into the future,” he said. As a small brand, storytelling and working with the right wholesale partners go hand in hand. “The wrong wholesale partner can send the wrong message,” said Spencer. Spencer has ADHD and dyslexia, which he says creates both challenges and opportunities. “You understand how to deal with problems and you understand how to work out a problem in a different way… You can see things in a problem that other people can't see.”Additional Resources:To watch “Four Weddings and a Funeral” click here.Explainer — Why the Menswear Market Is on Fire: From the rise of work from home to the decline of streetwear, BoF unpacks what's driving the “unprecedented” boom in the men's market.Where Does the Suit Fit into the Modern Wardrobe?

This is another strange one. Simon starts with a lie and they go from there to talk about, well, mid-life, merch, getting caught up in the ambitions of children and a not-quite-existential moment.Warning: parts of this episode might not make sense if you haven't listened to Episode 74.

In this episode we discuss the energetic shift of severing our ties with karma and other outdated systems.

The first episode of Kill Switch comes to you just as RightsCon 2020 kicks off - the world’s leading event on human rights in the digital age. In this inaugural episode, we take a look at what exactly internet shutdowns, slow-downs, and social media blocks are. We also delve into the reasons behind the troubling rise in government-mandated internet shutdowns around the world in recent years. Throughout the episode, we talk to experts and activists from around the world about recent, and currently ongoing, internet shutdowns - from the shutdown in Ethiopia that started in June 2020, to the shutdown that has been taking place since 2016 in the tribal regions of Pakistan.  This episode features interviews with Berhan Taye from Access Now (www.accessnow.org), Mishi Choudhary from SFLC.in (www.sflc.in), Hija Kamran from Media Matters for Democracy (www.mediamatters.pk) and Oliver Spencer from Free Expression Myanmar (www.freeexpressionmyanmar.org/).

Oliver Spencer the brand is the vision of Oliver Spencer the man. Self-taught tailor and shopkeeper, his eye is the starting point of everything they do. Frustrated by the limitations of art school and impatient to strike out alone, Oliver abandoned studenthood in favour of a stall at Portobello Market. Working that market stall ingrained his enduring love of garment and cloth — shop and shopkeeping. Having spent the previous decade creating and expanding formalwear brand Favourbrook, he wanted to create something new: a range of clothing with all the quality and craft of premium tailoring, but with a relaxed modern style. The philosophy? Quality needn't mean formality; casual needn't mean careless.That philosophy found plenty of adherents, and from a single shop on London's Lambs Conduit Street, Oliver Spencer has gone on to open several more shops, and an international online business — as well as being stocked in many of the world's leading department stores, from Harvey Nichols to Liberty of London to Mr Porter. Alongside his distinctive design style, he is uncompromising in the standards he sets for production and provenance. That means the company seeks out the finest fabrics and yarns from artisan British and Italian mills, making every garment in only the best European factories and workshops. In this episode of the MenswearStyle Podcast we speak to Menswear Designer Oliver Spencer whilst he is working from home in self-isolation on the Isle of Wight. Our host Peter Brooker asks him about his background and how he first came to start his eponymous menswear brand. Championing British cloth such as linen from Northern Ireland, Oliver discusses the best places to manufacture men's garments, with a focus of reducing overall footprint. They also discuss the current climate of operating during the Coronavirus pandemic and the struggle that shop owners are currently facing. As a bonus, we're then joined by the head of sustainability, Bleue Wickham-Burnham, who educates us about sustainability and what Oliver Spencer is doing to become a more sustainable menswear brand.Whilst we have your attention, be sure to sign up to our daily MenswearStyle newsletter here.
