There were many reasons Sim Khan went to law school. But for him, one stands out. "I liked the suits," he chuckles. "Maybe that's where that began." "That" is the custom-menswear company Brimble & Clark, which Khan launched in DC at the age of 30. The Montreal native's sartorial journey started when he was a student at McGill University and discovered how much fun it was to have custom pieces made all over the world as he traveled, from Spain and Turkey to the United Kingdom, including a semester at Oxford. Although leaving banking law for fashion was a risk, an early in with actress Rachel Bilson, best known as Sammer on The O.C., helped get Khan's work noticed by studio executives. Soon Brimble & Clark was making custom suits for the actors of X-Men, Twilight, and Captain America, along with musicians like diplo and major lazer.
