Schema interviewsJimmy Au | suits for men 5'8" and under
And why not? Demographics show that there is an equal number of men who are shorter than 5'9" and taller than 5'9". In the extremes, there's twice as many men who are 5'6" and below, than there are men 6'2" and taller. And...unfortunately, let's face it, the shorter market includes the growing Asian and Latino populations who are looking for well-fitting clothes that look polished and confident.
Here's where Jimmy Au comes in. Only 5'3" himself, Jimmy designs clothes to increase the visual perception of height by using a unique range of measurements. With these predetermined measurements, a complete Jimmy Au suit can make a shorter man look taller.
And...Jimmy Au's boutique in Beverly Hills has mannequins custom-made to be eye-level with the shorter man. Nice touch.
