What better way to step onto the red carpet and dazzle the paparazzi than rolling up in a luxury car attired in Ermenegildo Zegna formalwear and bowtie?

“You can always rely on Zegna to look classy,” Datuk Kelvin Tan says. With the Su Misura service offered by Zegna, everything is personalised and finished by hand, right down to the label of the customer’s name sewn discreetly on the inside of the jacket. It’s an experience which sets this Italian menswear brand apart, and something which Datuk Kelvin relishes.

"Don’t forget to smile, it’s only business.”

When the occasion calls for it, Datuk Kelvin turns on his charm. And with his trimmed down physique and buffed up body, he opts for more form fitting outfits.

“The fabric on this suit is incredible and the cut is very comfortable... it feels like my second skin,” Datuk Kelvin remarks about the Ermenegildo Zegna Trofeo 600 wool suit, tie and pocket square he has on. “I must have worn a lot of Zegna in my previous life,” he jokes while flashing his mega-watt smile.

Shooting hoops and scoring points doesn’t get more stylish than in ZZegna’s black jeans and leather jacket. While clean eating and keeping fit is part of Datuk Kelvin’s daily routine, he also doesn’t forget to have fun.

“It’s important to learn how to be comfortable in your skin. If you don’t, how can you be comfortable around others?”

Rhetorical it may be, but Datuk Kelvin’s philosophy holds a grain of truth. “I’m most comfortable in a T-shirt and pair of jeans, and this outfit represents everything I like about Zegna.”
