This international story of glittering A-list talent was brought to the screen by award-winning Nottingham-based producing duo Alistair Clark and Rachel Robey of Wellington Films. Clothes maketh the man in this entertaining rags-to-riches story of Britain's most famous and flamboyant men's designer. Made over the course of 13 years, Varon Bonicos' documentary records Boateng's rise to the top of the industry, from small-time designer to the king of Saville Row, with an illustrious client base and an international reputation. Along the way, there are obstacles, both professional and personal, that Boateng overcomes on his way to success, which this film charts.
