This project focused on creating a custom Maison Élevée ensemble for Adon Shuler, a collegiate football captain whose presence reflects discipline, leadership, and excellence. The goal was to design a look that balanced power with refinement while honoring the Maison Élevée philosophy of intentional identity design.
The centerpiece is a burgundy Marzoni double-breasted suit with navy windowpane patterning, enhanced by grey contrast buttonhole threading for a distinctive visual signature. The suit was styled with a custom silk tie from Como, Italy and a matching pocket square, creating a complete elevated look that blends European craftsmanship with modern athletic presence.
The result is a garment designed not just to fit—but to reflect the identity of a leader.
For Adon Shuler—captain of the Notre Dame football team and a leader who sets the standard both on and off the field—his look needed to reflect strength, discipline, and elevated presence. Maison Élevée designed a custom double-breasted suit crafted from premium Marzoni fabric in a rich burgundy tone with a refined navy windowpane pattern. The color story delivers both authority and individuality, balancing classic menswear heritage with modern confidence.
The suit was finished with distinctive grey contrast thread in the buttonholes, a subtle but powerful detail that highlights the garment’s craftsmanship and intentional design. To complete the ensemble, Adon paired the suit with a custom silk tie sourced from Como, Italy—the historic heart of luxury silk production—along with a matching pocket square for a perfectly coordinated finish.
Every element of the garment—from the structured lapel roll to the precise stitching and hand-finished details—was created to mirror the discipline, focus, and leadership that define Adon’s presence as a captain.
The suit was tailored to complement Adon’s powerful athletic frame while maintaining refined proportions. The shoulders were structured for strength and balance, while the jacket’s double-breasted cut enhances posture and presence. Sleeves were adjusted to showcase the shirt cuff cleanly, and the trousers were tailored to create a sharp, modern silhouette that allows both comfort and mobility.
The final look embodies elevated confidence—bold yet sophisticated. The deep burgundy tone commands attention while the navy windowpane keeps the design timeless and refined. With the Italian silk tie and coordinated pocket square completing the ensemble, Adon’s look represents the intersection of athletic excellence and elevated style.
This ensemble reflects exactly what Maison Élevée stands for: designing garments that elevate identity and presence.
