Another year passes into memory, and we pause to reflect on those who have accompanied us, to look back and acknowledge those who made the journey possible — our Anthologists. Your support has been a driving force behind our progress, allowing this project to grow beyond its beginnings and take its place within a longer, evolving narrative. The Anthology exists because of the community that surrounds it, and each Anthologist has been at the heart of this story.
Through shared ideas and steady refinement, together we are guided by a desire to create pieces that hold meaning and longevity; each design crafted to weave into the stories it encounters, each piece living on through those who carry it forward.
Looking ahead, our excitement builds for what comes next. New designs are taking shape, new journeys are beginning, and Anthologists continue to inspire each step. With gratitude for all we’ve shared and anticipation for what lies ahead, the next chapter promises even more creativity, connection, and discovery.
From all of us, thank you for being part of the Anthology this year. Here’s to another year of creating, exploring, and sharing together. Happy New Year!
As the sparkle of Christmas fades, we turn toward celebrations still to come. With New Year’s Eve around the corner and the next calendar full of formalities ahead, dressing for the occasion has never been more important— or more exciting.
Traditionally, eveningwear can feel like charting unknown waters. There’s a language to be learned and a balance to be struck. But these are not rules meant to intimidate; they are tools for you to show up with confidence, elegance, and— where appropriate— a touch of creative flair.
In seasons shaped by formal dinners and late-night celebrations, the tuxedo becomes more than attire, it becomes a measure of intent. Eveningwear need not feel rigid or ceremonial; at its best, it reflects an understanding of time and place. To dress formally is to recognise the moment itself, to honour the occasion, and to respect the effort of your hosts and fellow guests.
A classic black tuxedo jacket, single or double breasted, forms its foundation. Paired with well-cut tuxedo trousers, the emerging silhouette remains composed and anchors the look with clarity and intention. From there, shirts and accessories offer nuance rather than declaration: fly fronts for understatement, pleats for character, or bib fronts for the most classic look. Each of these elements come together and give this ensemble its final sense of purpose.
As winter deepens, this philosophy extends beyond the room. A finely chosen scarf and the Grand Coat in Obsidian Black frame the tuxedo beneath, carrying its elegance into the night. The coat’s volume and quiet weight preserves this formality from arrival to departure, uninterrupted and unmistakably considered.
To elevate your wardrobe is to understand the core pieces. A well-cut Tuxedo jacket with a shawl lapel or sharp peak lapels instantly signals intent. These shapes are drawn not just from tradition, but from centuries of wisdom that emphasise presence without excess.
It is in the details that distinction emerges: a well-chosen cufflink, a self-tied bow tie, or a thoughtfully considered cummerbund transforms a formal outfit into a statement of refinement. These finishing touches are what separate eveningwear from everyday tailoring, allowing each ensemble to feel deliberate, composed, and unmistakably considered.
Beyond New Year’s, you’ll still find these pieces adaptable: cultural dinners, milestone birthdays, or even weddings. A simple pocket square fold or a distinctive lapel can transform your look effortlessly between events.
Eveningwear shouldn’t be an afterthought. Consider this season’s celebrations as invitations to refine and enjoy what you wear. Start with the classics, know your fundamentals, and fear not to make them your own. From tonight to next year’s final dance, dressing well ensures you’ll always be ready for the moment.
