Howard Katz has a passion for "designing how you live in your clothes” based on where you go, what you do and who you see whether it is Business, Social, Casual or Formal.
Howard has decades of experience in the fashion industry with top companies like Bloomingdales, Tom James and Britches of Georgetown. This has shaped him into a formidable force when creating your unique style.
My Fashion/Style Philosophy
Alignment with Daily Reality
Your wardrobe is built around how you actually live: travel, climate, commute, social life, work dress code.
Example: a frequent traveler gets wrinkle‑resistant fabrics, versatile pieces that dress up or down, and pockets/closures designed for airports.
Consistent Personal Image
Instead of random, one‑off purchases, a clothier helps you build a coherent look that matches the life you want to project: relaxed creative, discreet professional, bold or fashion‑forward, etc. This consistency means you never look “off brand” at work, events, or on weekends.
Decision Fatigue Reduction
Fewer but better pieces that all work together = less time wondering what to wear. Your wardrobe becomes almost “pre‑programmed” for your routine: work, evenings out, informal days, occasions.
Comfort as a Lifestyle Standard
Custom fit supports how you move, sit, work, and play.
Posture, mobility, and temperature (if you run hot/cold) are all considered so you’re comfortable all day, not just when you’re standing still in a fitting room.
Values Expressed through Clothing
If you care about sustainability, ethical production, durability, or minimalism, a custom clothier can choose fabrics, construction, and quantities to match those values. Your closet becomes a reflection of your priorities, not just trends.
Long‑Term Planning Instead of Impulse Buying
You and the clothier map out what you’ll need for the coming seasons or phases of life (promotion, more public speaking, new climate, etc.). This turns your wardrobe into a planned system that evolves as your lifestyle changes.
