C. Wirschke meets: SKOKO and Glazomer

When we invite guests to our bespoke days, it's not because their names look good on a poster. We invite people we enjoy talking to. People who think about clothing the same way we do: about the fabric, about the craftsmanship, and about what a suit does to the person who wears it.

Fabian Skoko and Anton Urschumzew are two such people. Both are young, both have built their own labels, and both wear suits not for special occasions, but in everyday life. On November 7, they will be visiting us in Düsseldorf as we celebrate our next bespoke days together with Orazio Luciano and 100Hands. Before that, I would like to introduce you to the two of them.

Fabian Skoko and SKOKO: The Tie as an Attitude

The Man in the Double-Breasted Suit

Anyone who meets Fabian for the first time will almost certainly see him in a double-breasted suit. He wears almost nothing else. Along with loafers, glasses without which he rarely leaves the house, and a signet ring that is also his wedding ring. When out and about, he likes to ride his Vespa. It sounds like a style figure, but with him, it's no pose. It's simply his way of dressing.

Fabian came to classic menswear early. Instead of following trends, he became interested in clothing that is well made and lasts for years. The suit was his entry point and is still his daily wardrobe today. Over the years in which he has worn bespoke clothing and engaged with classic menswear, his eye for the craftsmanship behind it has become increasingly precise.

From a Search to a Label

At some point, this passion became a search: for ties and accessories that combine timeless design, fine fabrics, and genuine craftsmanship. Because he didn't find them the way he imagined them, Fabian founded SKOKO in 2026.

The ties are created together with specialized manufacturers in Italy. The silk is printed, cut, and crafted by hand in several steps there. Particular attention is paid to the interlining, which determines how a tie feels, how the knot sits, and how it falls. Each collection is released in limited editions. What sells out is not reproduced.

Ties with Names

I like that Fabian's ties bear names instead of item numbers. In the "Gentleman Values" collection, they are called Coraggio, Passione, or Portamento, meaning courage, passion, and attitude. His new Dress Code Collection, which will also be available at our store on November 7, follows the everyday life of a man who likes to wear a suit: Ufficio, Mezzogiorno, Aperitivo, Circolo, Fine Settimana, Occasione, and Tappeto Rosso. From the office to the aperitivo and on to the big appearance. 

What convinces me most about Fabian is a sentence he himself says about his goal: He wants to bring the suit back to the street. I can hardly think of a sentence I would rather sign my name to.

Anton Urschumzew and Glazomer: A Uniform for Those Who Have Something Planned

From Photographer to Founder

Anton comes from a different background. Before he founded Glazomer, he worked as a photographer and videographer in the fashion industry. He knew the images, the campaigns, the staging. His enthusiasm for classic menswear came later, during a stay in London. There he began to engage with tailoring and to experiment with the suit himself.

In doing so, he noticed a gap: Apart from a few established houses, there was hardly any fresh, contemporary approach to elegant clothing. Especially not for young men who are just starting to earn their place. In 2021, he founded Glazomer to change exactly that.

Starting with What No One Sees

Anton's first product was a sock. That sounds modest, but it is quite clever. The sock is the detail that hardly anyone notices and that only the wearer himself really feels. And yet, an elegant outfit needs an elegant sock. The Glazomer socks are made of mercerized cotton with classic rib knit and a light, silky sheen, made for the leather shoe.

By now, this has become a complete wardrobe: jackets and suit trousers, including models in flannel and fresco with a Gurkha waistband, shirts, knitwear and merino, vests and jackets, all the way to accessories. The color palette remains deliberately narrow: black, gray, and blue, with accent colors used sparingly. The cut is timeless rather than fashionable.

A Label, a Man

What many do not know: Glazomer is still essentially a one-man company based in Hanover. Anton takes every picture himself, plans every detail, and packs many orders by hand. At the same time, he has built a community on Instagram and TikTok that recognizes him on the street and shows that classic clothing is very much appreciated by a young generation.

Glazomer sees itself as a label for "Young Professionals": for people who go their own way, work hard for their goals, and want to be elegantly and contemporarily dressed while doing so. I like this idea of a uniform in the best sense. Not as a disguise, but as a foundation you can rely on every morning.

Why These Two in Particular?

Our bespoke days are about the craftsmanship of Orazio Luciano and 100Hands, about Neapolitan jackets and shirts that fifty pairs of hands work on. Fabian and Anton do not fit into this because they do the same thing, but because they ask the same question: How do we bring good clothing into everyday life?

Fabian answers it through the smallest detail with the greatest impact, the tie. Anton through a wardrobe with which young men build their first serious wardrobe. Together they show that the suit is not a relic, but is precisely finding new wearers again. And that makes me happier than any trend.

Five Questions for Fabian

What idea is behind SKOKO, which you might not recognize at first glance?

If you were only allowed to keep one tie, which would it be and why?

What distinguishes a good tie from an exceptional one?

What is the most common mistake when wearing a tie?

What makes a truly stylish man for you?

Five Questions for Anton

Where do the ideas that shape your work come from?

Is there a piece or a detail that means particularly much to you?

What is particularly important to you in the development or selection of a garment?

Is there a trend that you personally cannot stand?

What is always a good investment?

Meet the Two of Them in Person

On November 7, Fabian Skoko and Anton Urschumzew will be at our house. You can hold the SKOKO ties in your hand, try on the Glazomer collection, and talk to both of them about what drives them. Anyone who has a suit made at Orazio Luciano or a shirt at 100Hands can think of the matching tie at the same time. Make an appointment in the store or write to us via WhatsApp. I look forward to seeing you.
