Each year around this time, I realize that a lot of people I know have a love-hate relationship with the Holidays. We feel like we have just finished summer and enjoyed the first chill days of fall, and suddenly, it is Thanksgiving, and we are trying to quickly get ourselves organized before the end of […]
Outerwear
A Color Through The Ages
A few days ago, I began wondering why Navy Blue continues to be a preferred color not only with our clients but also within the menswear market.

Outerwear Choices
On a recent trip to London and the UK, I was able to fully appreciate the need for having the right outerwear on hand as temps changed from one day to the next with one beautiful brisk morning walking across Hyde Park with temps at around 5° C. I had a Field Jacket in Reda […]

During the trip, […]

The team and I were able to show the updates to the studio, present the new winter swatches in detail, and get some selling tips on how to combine them back to fall pieces. From a product POV, we started […]
It All Starts with Colors
I believe that how you look should make you feel good. As a Designer and Creative, my job is to always have you in mind and design collections that make you feel good by looking good. Yes, it is a little bit presumptuous of me, but if I didn’t believe that we can change people’s […]
