Anderson & Sheppard
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Anderson & Sheppard is a bespoke tailor on Savile Row, London, established in the Row itself in 1906. In 2005, its bespoke tailoring shop moved to Old Burlington Street and has remained there since. It also sells ready-made menswear from its old school style 'haberdashery' shop premises in nearby Clifford Street, as well as online.[1]
Since 2004, it has been owned by Anda Rowland, who inherited it from her father, Roland "Tiny" Rowland. The head cutter is John Hitchcock.[2]
Clientele[edit]
Former devotees have included Fred Astaire, Gary Cooper, Noël Coward, and Bryan Ferry. Anderson & Sheppard kept Prince Charles in double breasted suits for years. In 2004, Tom Ford became a customer of the firm, commissioning suits that would later appear in a W magazine photo shoot. Notable female clients have included Fran Lebowitz and Marlene Dietrich.[3]
