A Jacket Well Worn: Claudiu Pascalau AW24

Lavenham Lived

As part of our A Jacket Well Worn series, we chatted with the impeccably dressed Claudiu Pascalau. Based in London, Claudiu is a menswear enthusiast and works for Drake’s.

The A Jacket Well Worn series is a celebration of those special pieces of clothing that last a really long time, often accompanying us on life's most exciting journeys. In this series, we catch up with Lavenham wearers and learn about their lives and work, capturing them in their well-loved Lavenham pieces.

## Can you tell us a little bit about yourself, where you are based, and what you do for work?

I was raised in Montreal, and I've been living in London for the last three and a half years. My background is in menswear, and I currently work for Drake’s, where I look after Ecommerce, CX, and international events.

## What do you look for when selecting clothes? What do you look for in clothing brands?

I seek authenticity and, in a way, simplicity – clothes that stand the test of time, both from an aesthetic and a quality perspective. I like brands that stick to their core values and continue to design and make clothing that they believe in, regardless of what the latest trend is.
