Ozwald Boateng, OBE () (born 28 February 1967) is an English fashion designer, best known for his trademark twist on classic tailoring and bespoke styles.

Boateng was born in the Muswell Hill district of London on 28 February 1967, the son of Ghanaian immigrants.[1][2] He was inspired by the immaculate suits his father wore, and received his first suit—a double-breasted outfit in purple mohair—from his mother when he was eight years old.[3] At the age of 14, he found a summer job sewing linings into suits.[4] While studying computer science at Southgate College, 16-year-old Boateng was introduced to cutting and designing by his then-girlfriend.[1][5]
