In this last issue of 2023, we get ready for the festive season ahead. Looking back at the months gone by, making plans for the year coming and making sure to share inspiration for that all important mastery we call the art of giving. As the year winds down and the holiday season draws near, it was once again time to celebrate with a festive dinner.

Luxurious, lustrous velvet. Say the word and the essence of the fabric will reveal something of its nature to you instantly. Vel-vet. Soft and alluring like a whisper. It simply has that mood of having all the trimmings. No wonder we see more and more people eager to wear it, especially as the festive season draws near.

One of the reasons we are so fond of the festive season is the unique chance it offers us to romanticize life. To gather the people whose company we enjoy and do something special. While food is often the centerpiece and a paired wine is always appreciated, a well-curated cocktail presents a great opportunity to wow.

There are few things in this world as gratifying as a dinner party that seems to stretch on forever. This year we convened in Toronto, welcoming fourteen guests – some old friends, some new, and a couple from our own team – each dressed in their own black-tie attire curated specially for the event.

You may have heard us talk about our ‘buy lasting and buy less’ philosophy before, and it’s something we think is worthwhile adopting to how you choose to...

Private dining rooms offer the best of both worlds, the food and service of a restaurant, the privacy and atmosphere of home. In case you are inspired to warm your own life with more connection and a little extravagance, we asked our style advisors and partners around the world for their favorite spots to sit down with family and friends to celebrate the festive season.

The world of black tie is one of expectation. Sometimes explicit, often unspoken. We find it amusing that a dress code that so often demands black and white, could have so many gray areas. So, asked Jasper break down how to go about styling a standard two-piece tux and some of his favorite approaches to festive events.

It’s been a long road to get to the AM House Calgary. What began as one man working out of his home turned into a small team of locals ready to serve the community.

We have also found our way into the sport, partnering with two of the most exciting names active in the Netherlands. From this season on, we are teaming up with the Amsterdam-based indoor club XNRGY

The arrival of social media forever changed the world of sports. When players can be captured anywhere, anytime, their entire lives are opened up to commentary. Now there is a generation of players growing up in this new landscape. One of them: left winger for the Calgary Flames, Andrew Mangiapone.

We chased down some of the style advisors with our favorite looks for fall from the new campaign to ask how they do it. Digging into their approach to these autumnal months – from their signature look and personal formula for layering without sacrificing style to the pieces that make it easy.

If I look into my wardrobe, I realize my garments for spring/summer and fall/winter are becoming more akin to each other. Still I find there is still a big difference between the two. Not so much in the fabrics, weight, the quality, but in ways of wearing. During these last hot summer days, all I wanted was something breathable and airy. When days are getting colder, I still reach for those garments, but now my intention turns to layering.

Buyer and Style Advisor Ricardo speaks with us about his preferred approach to soft tailoring. Layering is key, he asserts, before showing us how to effectively meet this transition.

For artists, having their own studio or space to create means the world. As for us, serving as the backdrop for our Fall/Winter campaign, their studios mean sheer excitement.

As soon as the cold sets in, so does the overwhelming urge to cocoon yourself with new and delightful layers of wool. This season, we’re introducing a slew of new arrivals spanning the spectrum of formality. Gaurav takes us through his favorite options and style advice for each.

The Dutch have been and continue to be masterful architects. Fortunately for us, we have had the chance to spend time with Paul Rem who was more than happy to educate us on more majestic buildings that deserve our attention and admiration.

Fall brings a host of visual treats, but none more soothing than the way it causes the world to glow with that unforgettable, soft light. That autumn light does for these two cities what a thoughtful choice of clothing does for a demanding man: it ensures that the unique inner and outer coincide almost magically. This makes both these cities perfect for exploring this fall.

No, not the 1974 movie by esteemed Italian director Lucino Visconti, but a conversation piece nonetheless. At the Atelier Munro House in Toronto, our brand experience leader and style advisor Vincenzo Fazzari is joined by two of his clients to share with us their journey so far.

Really celebrating quality craftsmanship requires an attitude of care and dedication that must be sustained – from the love with which an artisan makes your garments to the maintenance of them once they are part of your wardrobe. Even the best made clothing requires a little love from time to time to ensure they last as long as possible. Maintenance is not difficult

Looking at the new collection for fall and winter, it can be easy to get lost in all the sumptuous blends and softly textured flannels. Hoping for some guidance, I turned to Brand Experience Leader Bastiaan to see what he’s most excited about this season.

If you’ve never had the pleasure of witnessing the Calgary Stampede, imagine an entire city flooded with cowboys. Music, chuck races, more hay bales than you can count and, of course, rodeo. For ten days, Calgary is transformed into a celebration of all things Albertans hold dear. This year, the festival coincided with the soft opening of our Calgary Atelier Munro House.

During Amsterdam's Sculpture Biennial ARTZUID our collaboration with Jasper Krabbé continues. The artist and first-time curator will show a scale model of the monumental sculpture he made for the event in the AM House on Beethovenstraat. He takes us through the creative process behind the sculpture and his vision for the exhibition.

Summer knitwear may feel like an oxymoron, but in truth it’s becoming one of the items we reach for more than anything else in the warmer months. The modern man’s wardrobe becomes more charismatic and comfortable with a few carefully selected summer knits at his disposal. We caught up with style advisor Can to find out why.

When one needs clothes that will make you look and feel your best while visiting galleries, attending weddings, garden parties, it’s sometimes difficult to know what to wear. And since it’s summer and you may even be suffering from high heat and humidity, the question becomes even more pressing.

When we think of the summer season, we think of linen. It’s inevitable, provided you’re a man of personal taste in clothing. We are diving deep into linen. Why it is a more sustainable fiber and excellent for summer, along with some of our pieces to show different ways to harness the incredible comfort and feel of linen.

This summer brings new stories to share and, of course, a new, special summer wine to taste, thanks to another delicious collaboration with sommelier Simo Zbiri. Curated by Simo, the limited-run vin is created by Denis Tissot, chief winemaker of Châteaux Ministre, a small independent winery specializing in au natural production.

In this seventh issue of the AM Times we are exploring what we’re calling ‘the fabric of Atelier Munro’. Creating a new kind of fabric which is not something you see, but something you feel when wearing Atelier Munro. When you get dressed in the early morning. When you perform for crowds with confidence. When you enjoy quiet moments alone reading a book, listening to a podcast, sipping a cool glass of red wine in the summer shade. It’s in everything we create for you as you create every garment yourself, weaving in those moments, discovering what personal style and empowerment really is, and experiencing that touch of a human being in the seams of a garment made specially for you.

We realize that our business has the potential to harm the world around us or create positive change – and we prefer to do the latter. But why exactly is clothing that you design to the last detail better for everyone? We chatted to our Sustainability Manager Milou Schijf to find out.

We recently got the chance to collaborate with two of the talented men behind Toronto’s Symphony Orchestra, creating a collection of quiet luxury inspired by their lives and work. One half of the duo is Mark Williams. He comes to the centuries old institution with a modern mission: to bring classical music to the masses.

Juan Carlos and his son Daniel are never too far from a warm sea breeze and ocean view. The pair have spent the last years creating a shopping destination in Euromoda. We sat down together to talk about what it's like to live in paradise and how this collision of cultures informs everything they do.

Summer is only moments away and the ice cold cocktails are calling, so we are diving into what to bring along on your summer trip this year. And who better to ask than style advisor Ricardo.

In our endless quest to stay and look cool in summer, few options are as effective as the piqué knit. Stylish, sure. Comfortable, yes. Airy, absolutely. With a structure that optimizes airflow and a texture that reads as polished but interesting, it is an easy choice.

With our new Calgary store only a few months away from opening, we wanted to chat to the guy making it possible: Can Altay. He’s the Brand Experience Leader for the region, an excellent style advisor and generally speaking: a hell of a guy.

We have been lucky enough to collaborate with Nasrdin on a new collection. The looks drew inspiration from his greatest influences and crafted them into pieces that reflect who he is today. We’re pulling back the curtain on the curation process - diving into each of the four looks and the stories behind them.

Adding another list in our series of conscious content to read and watch, we’re turning our attention to must-listens for when you want to learn something new. From the thought-provoking to the chuckle-inducing, here are some shows to consider when you have extra time up your sleeves this summer break.

Taste plays a crucial role in everything we do at Atelier Munro. We’re always reminded of this when traveling. The two cities we’re diving into this issue are sure to heighten all your senses: San Juan in Puerto Rico and Calgary in Canada.

Spring has officially started in the Northern Hemisphere and we can feel it everywhere. Every day more people find their way to made-to-measure clothing. The requests for lighter and more versatile pieces are gaining momentum and we are super proud to share so many new things this season.

While in Italy for Pitti Uomo this year, we made a quick detour. The trip provided a perfect opportunity to take a closer look at where our knitwear is made and learn all about the process from start to finish.

Every now and then you stumble upon something that reminds you why you live in a big city. GRIMM is one of them: a series of smaller contemporary galleries dotted across some of the world’s best cities.

There’s not too many stores around that you can walk into and instantly feel like part of the family. So if you find yourself in the North East of the US this spring, we recommend stopping by this specialty store passed down through generations.

For many of us, a great pair of jeans are the holy grail when it comes to creating a flexible wardrobe. For those who often find denim a bit too stiff for daily wear, we have now welcomed something more comfortable: super-stretch denim.

You may have already caught a glimpse of the Redelmeiers at one of our tastings or even in our latest campaign. From our first meeting, we felt an instant kinship with the family of sustainable winemakers.

When traveling, checking out the landmarks is easy, but to discover the best places we think you really have to ask a local. This issue, we’re diving into two cities that are perfect for a weekend trip this spring.

Of all the seasons, spring is the most notoriously unpredictable. One day you’re warm and dry, the next you’re caught in a drizzle. It’s why we keep coming back to the lightweight jacket when building our spring wardrobe.

As it gets colder outside and we’re busy finding ways to stay cozy, externally with beautiful layers, internally with warming cocktails, it is the perfect moment to look back at what we’ve done and where we’ve been. Reflecting on those special moments of the past 12 months. Reconnecting to the people we’ve met, the ideas we’ve made, the thousands and thousands of clients we served, dressed, and styled.

With holiday break coming up, a thoughtfully chosen book can make the perfect gift. We asked the team what they’ve been reading this year to put together a list – our favorite books to make you think.

Celebrating another year of hard work and milestones met, many we couldn’t have done without the people around us.
