Fashion - Interview

Businessmen who need to wear suits every day face many difficulties. Especially when it comes to travel, it is much more difficult to care suits. The suit is a garment which is difficult to maintain and it restricts movements during the day. However, X Suit has developed an innovative fabric that eases the maintenance process and gives the user the flexibility to move. Four-way stretchable texture allows you to move more comfortably and flexible throughout the day. Stain, Wrinkle and Odor proof structure also increase the usefulness of these suits. Designs for different tastes offer freedom for both classical lovers and those who want to be sporty in business life. I talked with Maximilien Perez, Co-Founder and CEO of X Suit, about their innovative solution.

Maximilien, could you tell us about X Suit?

The idea came to me one day when I was coming home from work after a 10-hour shift. I couldn't wait to get out of my suit and into my sweatpants.

That's when the light bulb went off.

What if I could create a suit that felt as comfortable as a sweatsuit, but still look good enough to wear in business settings. Being in the tech industry to industry hub of China, this idea merged into more than just a comfortable suit. Also to become the only suit you would ever need as a businessman. He continues, with eyes bright. It would be the stretch fabric which would allow you to be flexible in working or outer environments. We implemented nanotechnology that renders the suit carefree or specifically stain, wrinkle and waterproof.

Say goodbye to weekly trips to the dry cleaner.

By this special garment, you have designed two different suits in two different styles, xCorporate and xSport. What have you paid attention to the most in the designing process?

The design process for these two styles was with our end customers in mind. Both suits share the core design details and easy functionality, while tailoring in looks to different target groups. The xCorporate is a modern take on the classic suit, made with the office person in mind. While the xSport was designed for a younger audience, looking for a cooler alternative to an easy yet sophisticated outfit.

What are the advantages of wearing xCorporate? What does it contribute to the businessman's life?

The most useful feature of the xCorpoate for the businessman has to be the xStretch. Designed from the inside out, it offers unparalleled comfort that can be felt throughout the whole day. From sitting at your desk to running around in meetings, it is hard to go back to wearing a classic suit once you’ve gotten used to the xSuit. The second most loved feature has to be the xMemory, a durable press, for ultimate wrinkle resistance, making the suit the best travel companion. Gone are the days where you need to hassle around an extra pouch for your suit, or rush to have it pressed coming out of a suitcase.

xSport and xTee seem to promise freedom to those who wear them. How do they change the rules? What are their differences from others?

xSport is a revolution of the suit for the active man. It is a new take on the suit, inspiring from the sport tracksuit. With its easy storable removable hood, ribbed cuffs and zippered pockets, this is the ultimate outfit for the young man on the go. The xTee utilizes the same wrinkle and liquid repellent technology, making it the hardest tee to stain, and one that stays white for days on end. Both compliment each other perfectly and make for the perfect outfit.

What do you like most about wearing xCorporate in Black in your daily life?

The ease would be my favorite feature by far. My days are crazy busy and can go on for a week without stop. The fact that I can wake up and throw my suit and tee on, move easily and without having to care for odors or stains, then come home, throw it on my dresser, pick it right back up the next morning without a single wrinkle on it and while staying sharp is priceless. Simply stuffing a few colors of these and a few more t-shirts in a carry on suitcase, and travelling for a week with just that, makes me wonder how I could ever go back to my old ways. It really is the future of how all formal workwear will be one day.

Social media platforms are new podiums for fashion brands. What do you think about the power of social media on buyers' decisions?

Social media plays a great role in giving your brand daily exposure and social proof to a younger audience. It the fastest way to communicate with your customers while staying relevant in this modern age. I believe the power stems from a complete funnel that comprises of many elements, though great content, having the right key influencers and offering quality service to your customer through social media platforms is a great way to gain visibility and retaining your database.
