If you don’t know the name Rami Malek yet, we suspect you soon will do. This multi award winning actor has appeared in TV dramas including Mr Robot, 24, The War at Home and The Pacific and films such as the Night at the Museum trilogy and Twilight. It’s fair to say, too, that even bigger things are in the pipeline for Malek. In November last year it was announced that he has been cast as Freddie Mercury in the upcoming biopic Bohemian Rhapsody.

Acting isn’t the only sphere where Malek is capturing attention. He has built something of a reputation for being one of Hollywood’s most stylish emerging actors. His penchant for gracing the media’s red carpet best dressed lists has earned him a nod from the fashion world, and he recently starred in Dior Homme’s spring campaign. 

We’re not going to hold back here: we really like what Rami Malek does with his wardrobe. Here is a gentleman who is fearless enough to stray from the status quo and showcase his personality without sacrificing sophistication.

Want to know how he does it?

He’s not afraid to do something a bit different with his tailoring, and we think he looks surprisingly good doing so. Here’s Malek in a navy suit with a breton top and white sneakers

He understands the power of a texture shift. At first glance this outfit it made up of a black jacket, black trousers and a black printed shirt… but the fabric choices make it far more than the sum of its parts. 

He’s not afraid of a large scale pattern. This grey suit with oversized checks would be daunting for some, but Malek carries it off with a plain black shirt and a lot of confidence. 

He understands the value of a contrast sports jacket; and can even make it work in sage green velvet

He can pull off a novelty shirt. Don’t believe us? Here’s the proof. Wondering if it’s just a fluke? Here’s proof he can do it more than once

Considering Bespoke?

Every commission begins with a conversation. Here are answers to some of the questions we're often asked.

Business suits start from £999 for single or double breasted, and from £1,299 for a three-piece with waistcoat. Wedding suits start from £999, averaging around £1,500 depending on cloth and detailing.

The standard turnaround is 10 weeks from first fitting to collection. An express service is available in 5 weeks for an additional fee.

Yes. Alongside the York and London showrooms, Mullen & Mullen serves Sheffield and Manchester by arrangement, with fittings available at a client's home or office.

An independent, family-run business with over 50 years of combined experience in the industry, we pride ourselves on exceptional value: quality that speaks for itself without the inflated price tag. Fittings are in person and unhurried, built around a conversation about how a garment should look, fit, and feel, from a standout velvet jacket to a quietly sharp business suit.

The York showroom is at Unit 3, Middlethorpe Business Park, Sim Balk Ln, YO23 2BD, open by appointment Monday to Saturday, 9:30–5:30.

The London showroom is at 35 Sackville Street, Mayfair, W1S 3EG, open by appointment only.

Yes. Fittings can take place at a client's home or office instead of a showroom, at no extra call-out fee.

Bespoke shirts start from £180, made from English and European mill cloths with a choice of over 60 collar and cuff styles.

A bespoke suit is cut to a client's own measurements rather than a standard size, through a multiple-fitting process designed to get the fit right before it's finished. Cloth, lining, buttons, and detailing are all chosen individually rather than fixed in advance.

This individual approach also means better quality and longevity. A bespoke suit is made to fit and move with you, making it a garment built to last for years, not seasons.

Yes, alongside our bespoke suits, we also make bespoke shirts, overcoats, velvet dinner jackets, and shooting attire. Whatever the garment, the same approach applies: an unhurried, in-person fitting process built around getting the look, fit, and feel exactly right.
