Alan has become synonymous with style direction for menswear in Ireland and it is his continued ability to foresee trends in the changing world of fashion that has given him the recognition as very often being a commentator on modern style in Ireland. He features regularly on both Television and in the print media.
"Alan Kelly, who continues to spread his gospel to stylish male customers through his Gentlemen Please shops in Dublin, has brought in for winter some handsome military coats and jeans from Marithé & François Girbaud, along with other exclusive labels."
Deirdre McQuillan, Fashion Editor, Irish Times
"What I especially love about Gentlemen Please is the genuine joie de vivre about the shop rails. This is a men's shop where you just know the owner loves clothes and buys them with the same passion as a good womenswear buyer."

Kathleen O’Callaghan, Fashion Editor of Weekend Magazine, Irish Independent

"Clothes retailer Alan Kelly's mission is to dress the growing legion of style conscious Irish men in fashionable attire at affordable prices. Kelly identified a niche in the menswear market for new brands at a time when men were offered a limited choice of brands and were in danger of becoming clones of each other."
