Gold and diamond buttons to adorn most expensive suit
April 24, 2009 (UK)

Alexander Amosu, a luxury designer has designed the world’s most expensive suit, which will be showed off and delivered to its buyer at a central London party. This suit will be transported to the venue with extra security provided by an armoured Range Rover.

This suit is a one-off creation made from world’s finest fabrics such as Arctic wool, qiviuk and vicuna, rare South American wool.

The qiviuk and vicuna wools were blended with Pashmina from the high mountain plateaus of the Himalayas to create a cloth known as Vanquish II, which is one of the most luxurious fabrics.

It took more than 80 hours and 5,000 individual stitches to make that suit, which is equivalent to £14 per stitch. Finishing touch of nine 18-carat gold and diamond buttons make the suit more luxurious and exceptional and is valued at US $103,000

According to the designer Alexander Amosu, the global economic slowdown has not completely affected the demand for designer fashion. He also said that there is a demand for uncompromising quality during recession too.
