Under the design direction of Carlo Brandelli, Savile Row's Kilgour French Stanbury has been rewarded with not only the business of the fashion crowd, but of the celebrity crowd as well. Actor Jude Law and musician Noel Gallagher are customers too. "I would fear walking into Anderson & Sheppard," says Bill Prince, GQ's deputy editor. "But Kilgour understands younger men."
