Lambert Hofer specializes in formal wear for festive occasions, with a particular focus on one of the world’s most iconic events – the Vienna Opera Ball. The elegance of this grand evening is enhanced by the magnificent setting of the Vienna State Opera and the traditional requirement for gentlemen to wear a tailcoat.
On this occasion, everyone – from the Federal Chancellor to Hollywood stars and debutantes – is dressed in the finest fabrics.
We are proud to be the outfitters of hundreds of these distinguished guests each year, supplying rented tailcoats from Lambert Hofer.
For other formal occasions or glamorous ball nights without a white tie dress code, we are happy to provide perfectly fitted tuxedos and morning coats for an impeccable appearance.
