About Us
Our Story

When Mitchell Ogilvie started the store that became the menswear institution it is today, the year was 1981 and he was 21 years old. Mitch’s vision was to build Brisbane’s finest luxury menswear emporium, catering to men of all ages, and providing a customer service experience that was incomparable.

He stocked it with the best Italian suits, shirts, and accessories he could find, forging deep and long-lasting connections with generations of tailors and clothing houses on his yearly buying trips.

In 2011, Mitch welcomed business partner and fellow director Aung Lynn into the company to manage the Mitchell Ogilvie store experience and collections. Mitch remains heavily involved in the strategic direction of the business, and still joins Aung on the annual pilgrimage to Italy to select from the next season’s designs, while catching up with old friends in fashion.

Joined the Mitchell Ogilvie Menswear family in 2011

For Aung, the best part of his job is meeting people and getting to know them.  He has an abundance of clients-turned-friends who value his friendship as much as his style.  Lucky for them, his style is also pretty great!

Aung was born in Burma (Myanmar) and moved to Singapore when he was 10 to complete his primary and secondary schooling.  It was also here that Aung played guitar in a band, but he tends to feign memory loss of this when asked about it!  At 18, he moved to London and studied Information Technology at the University of Greenwich, but as Aung will acknowledge, today he “still doesn’t know how to use a computer”.

At 20, Aung started his fashion career in London with Cecil Gee, getting his first taste of luxury men’s clothing while working with labels like Brioni, Valentino, Karl Lagerfeld, Canali and Corneliani to name a few. He was hired as a Stockroom boy and within one year advanced to be their youngest Store Manager to date.  Aung continued working for Cecil Gee as part of the Moss Bros Group for almost 20years.

In 2003, he moved to Australia with his 3 favourite girls – wife Ana, and daughters Rachel and Katie.  Aung was ready to find a new job in the luxury sector but found Brisbane was lacking opportunities. This is when he met Mitch.  Aung was keen to work with Mitch however he could only offer Aung a casual position at the time.  Over the next 8 years they kept in touch, but the timing was never quite right, and meanwhile Aung managed the Country Road Brisbane Cluster, Louis Vuitton, and Hugo Boss. When Hugo Boss Franchise was reclaimed by Hugo Boss, Mitch and Aung’s stars finally aligned, and he started with Mitchell Ogilvie Menswear in January of 2011.

When Aung isn’t at work, or travelling near and far to see clients, he enjoys his family time, cooking up gourmet feasts, playing many a game of golf, and following the English Premiere League football. With a gin & tonic in hand? Even better.

Aung speaks English and Burmese, and he tries his best at Italian.

Fouad Kouzi
Joined the Mitchell Ogilvie Menswear family in 2011

When you walk into the store and are hit with beauty and order, Fouad is the man behind this first impression.  Fouad's passion is visual merchandising and his creativity is second-to-none.  

Starting in the retail industry at 17, Fouad completed 10 years at McDonald’s where he learnt invaluable skills that formed the basis of his career.  His succeeding experience in a variety of fashion stores means he knows his menswear across the board, with in-depth knowledge from suiting to shoes and fragrances.  Fouad has mastered the art of putting together the perfect outfit for any occasion, and his customers love him and the experience he provides for them.

Recently Fouad has been assistingMitch and Aung with the Canali buying, as his input is valuable when ordering our new collection, and particularly pieces he knows his customers will need in their wardrobes.  

Fouad's passion away from work is cleaning and history, in that order.  He is always happy to converse about Marie Antoinette's sleeping habits, or how they forged the pyramids in Egypt – get him on a good day and he'll act out a scene for you too!

Fouad speaks English and Arabic. 

"If you have time to lean you have time to clean." – Ray Croc, founder of McDonald's

Amy Braatvedt
Joined the Mitchell Ogilvie Menswear family in 2008

Though it's rare to see Amy in the store, it doesn't mean she isn't hard at work. Amy has been working in fashion retail since she was 18, originally in the Country Road stockroom before finding her way here. Amy looks after all our back of house operations from the office upstairs. Her love of organisation and attention to detail means she is happy to stay behind the scenes, but we let her out sometimes!

Amy's passions in life are her nieces, Survivor, and recycling – so don't let her see you put your bottle into the wrong bin! She loves catching up with friends but unfortunately a lot of them are scattered inAustralia and Europe, which means Amy likes to travel. 

A lot. 

As Queen of conquering jetlag, make sure you ask her how to knock it on its head.

Amy celebrated 10 years with Mitchell Ogilvie in 2018 and we surprised her with a trip to Italy to meet the suppliers that she emails daily. Amy looks forward to her 20 year and 30 year trips...
