I can't believe that two of my nieces are about to turn one soon! Where did the year go?! I also found out that I will have the privilege to be a godparent to them. Which is exciting for me, because they are my nieces, after all  In other news, If everything falls into place I might be able to actually fulfill something on my long term to-do list, Visit Brazil! I'm quite excited. Eventhough when I check the prices for the trip and it is around 2k right now. That's like two Givenchy sweaters!!!

Speaking of sweaters, in today's editorial post we have a story that appeared on the Spring/Summer 2013 issue of GQ Style UK. Abiah Hostvedt, Chris Moore, Christopher Wetmore, Dominique Hollington, Jesse Shannon, Jonathan Marquez and featuring Joan Smalls are photographed by Matthew Stone and styled by Matthew Josephs in pieces by no other than Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy.

I'm also including a video that is made for Barney's New York by Gordon Von Steiner featuring models Andre Bona and Miles Langford also wearing Givenchy.

I know, I know I've been posting a lot of Givenchy pieces on my blog. What can I say? My name's Lexter and I'm a Givenchy-oholic!

Things That I Want: Come What May - Givenchy Spring/Summer 2013

Givenchy S/S 2013
What could be even worse than a long distance relationship between San Francisco and New York City? How about spending the next couple months even further away? I mean somebody going abroad.  Atleast right now I can deal with non-stop flights and the fact that I can easily hop on a plane out of a whim without needing my passport.

The bad thing about working somewhere that comes naturally without much effort, I would be on autodrive. Then I get stuck in my head, Thinking. Who got time for that? But I'm notorious sometimes on freaking/stressing myself out for no apparent reason.

Honestly, I should really trust the Bubs because without trust might as well say farewell. It's just it's Rio for crying out loud, have you met any Brazilians that looked bad? I don't even know what they eat over there that all of them look ridiculously good. Anyway.

Trust on the vows that they meant as much as it did the day it's said. Come what may.

For this week's Things That I Want post, I decided to post something that I actually bought already this week. I know I still have roughly a month till my niece's christening but I have to get ready for what I'll wear. There will be pictures for pete's sake. I have a few options lined up but I'm quite excited about this piece really. Of course, it will be coming from the ethereal collection of Givenchy. This one I like because it is mostly white and still preserves the actual image of the Virgin Mary. I know I could get the bau haus print or the splattered painting or even the pastel pink ones but it comes down with how much I'm spending really. Since my heart is not really set to buy any of the latter ones. If I could get away I would love to buy the darker sweaters. But this is a christening after all. I have to keep it light. The sweater retails for $885. I love the Silk detail and the simplicity of the sweater.  But I'm thinking of pairing it with black pants rather than an all white look and of course my Givenchy long shirt with the Silk chiffon bottoms.

First World Problems - Aleksey Slovedov, Marin Merimaa, Szabolcs Szigethi, Georgios Petinis, Jacob Crosby, Eamon Bardal, Dennis Verbaas, & Florian Specht by David Tan

You know that phrase, First World Problems, that's most of my problems. I know that growing up and living in America with a quite err comfortable family. I know that I find myself complaining about the most minuscule hiccups on technology or first world lifestyle. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone on this but I do take a lot for granted because I do live in a major metropolis like unlimited texting and calling, wi-fi internet readily available literally everywhere.

Being in a long distance relationship, we rely heavily on technology to work for us. How about throw somebody outside the country where wifi is not everywhere and roaming costs an arm and a leg. Besides the patchy wifi hotspots and the wifi at the place you're staying at and . . . land line. Yes, pay phone and that thing that's connected to the wall when we were kids. Quel horreur!

It's only the second day. I guess Rio de Janeiro is not that bad, I mean it could be worse, really. A lot worse.

We close of this week with an editorial that appears on the third issue of Lab A4 magazine. The editorial features promising faces Aleksey Slovedov, Marin Merimaa, Szabolcs Szigethi, Georgios Petinis, Jacob Crosby, Eamon Bardal, Dennis Verbaas, and Florian Specht as styled and photographed by David  Tan. Of course it includes must-have pieces by Givenchy, Alexander Mc Queen, Comme des Garcons (the visor that I LOVE),  Balmain and Versace to name a few.

I'm going to keep this short because I'm multi tasking right now, Skyping and blogging. #firstworldproblems

Have an amazing weekend my fashionistos and fashionistas!

Indigenous Denizens - Seth Kuhlman & Travis Smith by Tetsuharu Kubota

I had been living in San Francisco for a number of years now but the denizens of this wonderful city never fails to surprise me. So, yesterday while a friend of mine and I tried out a restaurant called Bisou in the Castro district and downed pitchers after pitchers of Mimosas for brunch. Granted everybody there was already umm drunk happy. So what happens when a bearded guy in drag started dancing down the aisle? Well, It was a big party I guess. I suppose it was Easter after all. It was just interesting. I don't think that would happen if I still lived in San Jose. I went there over the weekend to take one of my niece to the Children's Discovery Museum. We also went to this place I worked at my last years of college. It was interesting to see people that I knew years ago still working there.

It was interesting how the city changed and yet still looked the same.

The editorial post today was from Commons and Sense magazine photographed by Tetsuharu Kubota. Seth Kuhlman and Travis Smith donned pieces by Givenchy, Mugler, and 3.1 Philip Lim. The two was styled by Maher Jridi. I thought it was an interesting perspective on the styling. Playing with a little bit of the American Indian warrior look. The editorial was entitled Double Dare.

This is the time in San Francisco when it is sort of cold in the morning and it gets warm in the afternoon and back to cold in the evening. So technically, I should dress for the cold weather but I don't. I dress like it's Spring/Summer. To be honest, I can't wait till it's the end of May when I get to soak on some great sun, where else? Rio de Janeiro, Brazil! I just have to survive a few more weeks of semi-dreary and gray San Francisco for a month and some change. I guess that will be a good thing since this body is not quite ready for Rio beaches, just yet. Gym is already my second home. Sometimes I really wonder from the amount of time I spend there I could do something else worthwhile . . . then I realize who am I kidding.

Of Course.

Today we have an editorial piece that appears on the new issue of Bullett Magazine featuring Major Models talent, Zach Picotte. Michelle King photographs Piccotte in futuristic pieces by Louis Vuitton, Mugler, Versace, and that Darth Vader hat from Moncler Gamme Bleu as styled by Julien Alleyne.

Fashion Royalty: Love It Or Hate It - Adrien Jacques, Arran Sly, Barnaby Dunn, John Todd & Felix Liljefors

While I was having a very late brunch at a Latin bistro with a really good friend yesterday, He told me that one of his younger students was interested in fashion and wanted to start blogging. He had shared my blog to the said student. I said that was great but the young "ingenue" said I had too many naked models on my blog and would want to write about wearable fashion. I think that was great feedback because it made me check my blog. It was no secret that I love my high fashion collections. As much as I don't parade around on high fashion pieces ALL the time, I love the whimsy and the fantasy of a very elaborate editorial. Sure, once in a while I would write about an abundance of RTW editorials but I would because there would be something else in the editorial that would make an impression with me. That's cool that there would be another streetwear photographer on the ranks but would take a great deal of patience and time. Two that I don't have a lot of.

Well, I'm leaving the city for the weekend to have a little R&R in Monterey. Have a great weekend my fahsionistos and fashionistas!

We close of the week with this very regal editorial shot by Michelle Du Xuan for L'Officiel Hommes China. Adrien jacques, Arran Sly, Barnaby Dunn, John Todd and Felix Liljefors were men of royalty in great pieces from Givenchy and Prada to name a few. The boys were styled by Benjamin Armand.

The more I see those Givenchy sandals the more I love them and the more that I want to buy it.

Trustafarianism - Sam Lawson by Cecilie Harris

Coming back from a wonderful and relaxing weekend was pretty hard. But as I always been reminding myself, "I love my job x3."I mean for the fact that I somehow needed to fuel my love of shopping and jetsetting. Being a trustafarian, I couldn't just possibly burn through my savings. That would just be poor planning. What would my parents think, sheesh!

I just love the forecast for the next few days. Temperate weather with a slight chance of a beach/park day if I plan my days right. Eventhough that my week was looking more and more booked with events till the weekend when I checked the other day. But I would rather be busy than bored. What did they say again? "Only Boring people get bored. "

Happy Hump day my fashionistos and fashionistas!

Today we have an editorial that appeared on the latest issue of TenMag. British model, Sam Lawson was photographed by Cecilie Harris for the cover story for the April issue of the said magazine. Rachel Gold styled Lawson in Spring/Summer pieces by Moncler, John Varvatos, and J.W. Anderson to name  a few.

I would totally agree that, that would be . . . not me. Yesterday, I was on a fender bender, minus the bend on the fender. This lady rear ended my poor car on my way to work. Honestly there was no damage on my car, then again my car's white so I couldn't tell. I was more worried about if I got a whiplash from it. The problem was she didn't have physical proof of insurance, which pissed me off. We got in a shouting argument and I called 911 because I didn't wanted to argue. Honestly I knew she would get a ticket. But after calling the bubs (yes, it was an emergency). The bubs provided some needed clarity. Calmed me down, no harm done so why get her in trouble. Karma. Humility should be practiced. I'm a hard-head but I do listen to the person that I love and respect and couldn't wait to spend my entire life with.

I've said this before, the Bubs balance me out. Definitely my better half.

Well fashionistos and fashionistas have an amazing weekend! Be kind to one another!

We close the week with this Givenchy editorial that appeared on the latest issue of The Fashionisto magazine. Simone Nobili was photographed by Jay Schoen wearing Spring/Summer 2013 offering by Tisci. Fashion Editor, Demetrio Baffa Trasci Amalfitani styled Nobili with some of my top picks from the collection.

I Remember You But Not The Feeling - Simone Bredariol by Jay Schoen

I don't know why it's been but I find myself reconnecting with people from my past. It's a little refreshing and weird at the same time. It's great because catching up with somebody that you cared for dearly in the past is interesting to me. It's like getting to know them all over again. Most of the time we don't really stay the same. We grow or regress depending on the situation. But I think no matter what, bottom line, they are your exes for a reason or the other. We reminisce over the "good ol' days" and for a second it is fun. Then I try to remember how it felt when I was my younger self. Nothing.

I remember the person but I don't remember the feeling anymore. Must be a sign that I'm happy with the Bubs.

Also, my thoughts are with the friends and family who are affected by the Boston Marathon bombing yesterday.

In today's editorial post, we have Simone Bredariol as photographed by Jay Schoen for David magazine. Ivan Rasic styles Simone in easy spring pieces with what appears to be a warm-looking bachelor's pad as a backdrop. Contemplating . . . or something.

There are people who I know who are just like this. I don't know if they can't help themselves or something else. People who complain a lot. I mean of course I get frustrated too. Especially now that I'm doing a carb depleting regiment, I have to be extra cautious of my emotions. What I hate is when I'm at my workplace and somebody I work with starts complaining about some mundane problem that they have. One, I'm not your friend. Two, it's very unprofessional to talk to me about this. Three, hire a therapist. I have one and I don't even have issues . . . or do I?  Worse comes to worst get a boyfriend/girlfriend they might actually have the time to listen to you. Regardless, I'm at work because I'm there to work and not to coddle people. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if this happens once in a while but it's becoming a regular occurrence. Sometime at some point I have to say (civilly) I've had it, put a lid on it because I'm actually trying to work here.

The End.

In today's editorial post we have Lagerfeld's muse Baptiste Giabiconi as he appears on the newest issue of Dsection magazine. Jack Waterlot photographs Giabiconi with New York as a backdrop. Andrew Holden puts together Sartorial looks including pieces by John Varvatos, Dior Homme, Emporio Armani and Billy Reid to name a few. I personally love those big rimmed fedoras.

Family - Grayson Gettys, Ben Lark & Ian by Christian Ferretti

As someone once told me, as adults, we get to choose our own family. I've been fortunate enough to be born in a family that I adore and adores me back. No matter how I think I'm independent and having such great friends all over. To have the love of one person that means the world to me. I still find myself fall back to the ones that loved me from the beginning, no matter what. Of course, I'm not saying that my family is perfect but whose is, right?

This weekend is just one testament that I should really never take everything for granted and how lucky I am to live the life I'm living. Thanks to my friends, my brother and my sister and their significant others, my three beautiful nieces, the Bubs, and last but not the least my father and my mother. I couldn't ask for better parents. Especially when my father uttered two words in how he referes to the Bubs. It almost made me cry.

It only makes sense that they welcome the Bubs when they knew this person is the right person for me. One fact about me, I'm not one of those people that lets every single person I date meet my parents, regardless of longevity. So in the recent history, there were only two counting the Bubs. The other one is just a fluke. No offense if you're reading this.

Eventhough yesterday is a "usual" Monday. I'm being optimistic that the week will look up. Crossing my fingers.

In today's editorial post, we have quite a dark family living in Suburbia. The Yes! We Will Come Round For Tea appears on the latest Hero magazine issue. Grayson Gettys, Ben Lark, and Ian sport edgy fashion and are watched over by their stern and very fashionable mother, played  by Karen Bjornson. The story is photographed by Christian Ferretti and styled by Gro Curtis.

I Want That Too - Jon & Mark Norris by Francesco Scontrini

I think this week is a little strange with the fact that I'm actually catching up sleep during the work week from the lack of sleep from the weekend. But of course, I'm actually actively making my night/social life to a minimum and make sure I get some rest. This is where having the Bubs overseas works in my advantage. A four hours difference means earlier bed time for the Bubs. The longing kills me thought especially seing all my cousins over the weekend with their significant other.

Sometimes I find myself thinking that I'm ready for a family, settle down and move in with the Bubs like the other night. Then a huge part of me resist it. I'm not that old but I do want to see my future kids grow up. Then I visit someone's house with kids and how crazy having kids are. I guess it's a trade off. Am I really ready for all that commitment and responsibility. Kids are not like pets that I could return when it doesn't "work out."

This too shall pass.

In today's editorial, we have the British Norris twins, Jon and Mark, represented by WhyNot Models as they appear on the latest issue of Kurv magazine. Francesco Scontrini photographs the twins in beautiful black and white. Demetrio Baffa Trasci Amalfitani Di Crucoli (okay, that's a mouthful) styles the twins with some Spring/Summer 2013 pieces from Emporio Armani, Givenchy, and Etro to name a few.

See I can tell the Norris twins apart, I'm not sure if they're identical but the Coppini twins? Nope they look too much alike. Then again, the Coppini twins are also the only twins that get booked separately or as far as I know.

Young & Beautiful - Marlon Teixeira by Lope Nova

I think that sometimes it surprises me of the things that the Bubs and I talk about. Usually we talk about the most mundane things like celebrity sex tapes, the people that are persistent and pursuing us and our semi-normal life. Then the Bubs asked me, "Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?" Of course, I found out that it was from a Lana Del Rey song but this is deep like any of her thought-provoking songs. I think that our society is so obsessed with youth that it's crazy. Working in the fashion industry, I get to see it with a front row seat. The Bubs and I work in a profession that there will always be somebody younger and more beautiful than us, and we're not even barely in our mid-life! No wonder I have this unexplainable fear of aging!

I have in the past shied away from suitors that are older than me because I always thought that we wont have anything in common. So, that's why it amazes me to find couples that have more than ten years their senior. I guess my parents had quite an age gap between them but I just thought that standards were just different back then. But hey they're doing something right since they're still together.

So, back to the subject of love, yes I will still love the Bubs even we're no longer young and beautiful. That's the vow we took and that's the vow I'll keep.

Happy Weekend!

We close of the week with a cover story that appears on the newest issue of L'Officiel Hommes Korea with Brazilian super model, Marlon Teixeira. Marlon is photographed by Lope Nova with great denim fashion looks styled by SunYoung Lee. The coverstory features the beautiful beaches of Rio as the backdrop. In exactly a month, I will be there, maybe at the exact same beach too.

If I had a weakness it will be in the kitchen. I admit, I'm not one of those guys who could cook. I mean growing up I always had somebody cooking for me be it my Mom, my Father or our house helper. In college, I lived in the fraternity house with a cook, the only one in the University too. Post college, I eat out or pick up something on the way home. Sure, I could get domestic helping out in the kitchen and I've had cooked things following a recipe. I think I was fortunate enough to date people who can actually cook. Was that a subconscious decision of mine to date these individuals? Perhaps. I think that I'm at an age and stage in my life that I had to learn how to cook. I mean if the Bubs and I moved in we had to switch back and forth on the cooking. I mean it would be great to just order take out every night but there was always something special with a home cooked meal. It doesn't help either that the Bubs' a health nut.

One of the reasons I love celebrating Holidays with my family.

Today's editorial post appeared on Homme Style's sixth issue. It featured models Alexandre Cunha, Diego Fragoso, Kevin Mertens, Nan Fulong, Rich Stinger, and Ton Heukels as photographed by Marco Falcetta. Giuseppe Ceccarelli styled the boys with Versace's offerings for the Spring/Sumer 2013.

Sur,e I own a few Versace pieces and sure most of their collections I deemed gotti. But, hey, I loved the pop of colors. Nobody would ever say your outfit was boring. Speaking of Boring, if somebody asked for your opinion on their outfit. Do you lie and tell them you liked it eventhough you didn't? I never did but I think sometimes were surprised with my honesty.Then again if you liked it, then who cares what other people think.

Everything is set and I'm counting down the days till RIO! I love that lately we've been having some great weather in San Francisco. Too bad that my days are getting booked by work, more work and the gym. I know exciting but that doesn't mean I'm sacrificing my social life. It just means I have to pick and choose carefully which events I attend. I wish I can clone myself so I can do multiple things at once. I know that I should get used to it by now but sometimes as much I love Skyping with the Bubs we feel guilty that we are spending so much time on it rather than letting the other person socialize or do something else. At the same time, I hate that I don't have the Bubs as my +1 to events. It gets old when I have to listen to how great other people's significant other standing next to them while I smile, tilt my head to one side and blink slowly.

My way of rolling my eyes.

I still can't believe it's already May! Rio fashion week just went by and soon enough the menswear Milanese and Parisian circuits will begin.

In today's editorial piece, we have a project shot by photographer, Ryan Jerome, for Glamaholic magazine.  Elia Cometti, Fabricio Bach and Lucas Mascarini frolic at the beach for an Italian Summer inspired shoot. Alba Melendo and Giulia Ferrazzi style the boys with prints and colors by high fashion houses like Frankie Morello, Kenzo, Dirk Bikkemberg, and Hermes to name a few.

If there's something that's bothering me right now is the fact that sometimes work gets to me. Not specifically the work load, but more with the people I work with. Of course I have to be professional, I only make snide comments when I know I can get away. I'm half kidding. I'm not saying that I work with stupid people but I do have higher standards with people. Working at two levels with two different groups of people help me to balance out how I tend to work with people. Eventhough that sometimes I slip and tend to be cut throat.

Well honestly, I never really said I'm an angel nor do I pretend to be one. I just usually tell it how I see it. Life is way too short to walk on eggshells. 

Happy Weekend my fashionistos and fashionistas!

We close the week with Soul soldiers Jason Morgan and Nate Nesbitt as they appear in an all white affair for the April issue of Manifesto magazine. Brent Chua photographs the two men while Jonathan Yee puts together looks in this simple yet very dramatic and beautiful editorial. I love this story and no, not because of the Givenchy pieces (eventhough I do love the chosen pieces) but how its simplicity makes it dramatic.

Bow Down, you punk! - Benjamin Eidem & Jesse Shannon by Arnaldo Anaya Lucca

So the MET gala was last night, the fashion Oscars. It was interesting to see how the elite interpret the theme of the exhibit which was the punk movement with the title Chaos To Couture. Some were on point while the others missed the mark big time by just going glam and the rest were just plain confused. But the highlight was when Beyonce arrived, they actually cleared out the steps. Yes. ma'am! Bow Down b*tches, the queen has arrived! I love the pissed off look on JLo's face.I can't wait to see the exhibit when I come to visit New York sometime in the summer.

In other news, I guess it was about that time again, San Francisco's ever changing micro climates. So another head cold came knocking again. But hey I had nobody to blame but myself. I was the one who went out with a friend and not bring a jacket or anything when it got cooler Thursday night last week. So I'm actually doing everything I could do to let this cold pass before my trip to Rio.

Speaking of bowing down, In today's editorial post we have top British model Benjamin Eidem for yet another cover story. Arnaldo Anaya Lucca photographed Ben with Jesse Shannon for the story, King Ben In The Dark Kingdom that appeared on the newest issue of ODDA magazine. Kareem James had the boys donning great edgy pieces by Kris Van Assche, Ports 1961, and John Galliano and accessories were mostly by Mordekai by Ken Borochov. Love it.

This single editorial made me second guess my outfit for my other niece's christening which I'm the Godfather as well. No I was not thinking of wearing a crown which I could but I was more thinking of the short sleeve white shirt with the black leather lapel and a big belt.

I have a week left and I'll be in Rio! SO EXCITED! . . . and I get to see the Bubs as well. Here's what people are asking me. Are you going to be sleeping at the beach? Maybe. Are you going to take lots of pictures? Probably, eventhough I hate taking pictures of myself, I do Instagram a bit. At least that way I can avoid taking selfies like people I know. *ahem* *ahem*  I use instagram to share my daily life and not take gazzilion pictures of myself. But hey to each his own. I digress.

Eventhough this week has been trying in terms of my general health. I'm finally getting over of my head cold and the slight stinging of my hand due to a hot water burn is also subsiding. I just wonder if it'll leave a mark. Ugh, hashtag first world problems. Now that everything is looking up, I have a swollen toe due to an injury from a long time ago. Well of course, why not.

But I'm surprised that I'm still pushing myself to trim down for my trip. I've been eating clean with only a few cheat days from a few months. The gym schedule is also tight and I have not skipped a session. It's Brazil for crying out loud. The land where the most beautiful models come from. Now if that's dedication, I don't know what that is, insanity? Perhaps.

In today's editorial post, I have another great one with Ben Eidem as he appears on the May issue of GQ Espania/Spain. The very casual editorial is shot by the talented Sergi Pons with this beautiful home as a backdrop. Joana de la Fuente puts together a very laidback, striped Spring/Summer-y looks by Dolce & Gabbana, Salvatore Ferragamo, Burberry Brit and Hermes to name a few.

The weekend is here! I need this to recuperate my feet. So what do I do? I go out with friends till the wee hours of the morning, dancing . . . in leather sneakers. I mean they look nice, but they are far from the most comfortable shoes that I own. Come to think of it, out of all the shoes I own probably two are genuinely comfortable to wear. The others are just fashion statements. hastag fashion problems.

Well as I'm writing this, it's turning out to be a really nice day in the city. I might enjoy it relaxing at the country side by the pool. Well after my early Saturday morning Skype session with the Bubs.

Happy weekend my fashionistos and fashionistas.

We close the week with an editorial that appears on the newest issue of one of my favorite men's fashion magazine, Essential Homme. As the exotic Marrakech as the background, Giovanni Squatriti photographs the English model, Harry Goodwins donning coveted pieces from the Spring/Summer offerings of Givenchy, Versace, Saint Laurent Paris (okay that's weird to type), and Dolce & Gabbana among others. Gioele Panedda did a great job at putting together the looks especially breaking apart the Givenchy looks and mixing it with something else.

Over the weekend, I got the chance to see The Great Gatsby and I love it. I mean reading it years ago as a young adult, honestly, I didn't quite understand most of the adult themes in the book. I think it is one of those books that as you grow older you discover new things about the story. Seeing it with Baz  Luhrmann vision is great but with a slight or heavy huh?! Why?! WTF?! Technicolor extravaganza that I come to love from his movies. I manage to convince my friends not to see it in 3D this is a tragedy for god sakes and the fact that the 3D glasses wouldn't go with my Goorin Bros Fedora and ensemble. The movie is good and actually great to see it re-imagined.

I really wish people would start to dress up again. I know the dapper "movement" in parts of SF and NYC is alive and well. So I'm thankful for that but I mean dress up. The movie also makes me want to wear my suits, bowties and ties, collar bars and cufflinks again. I've been on my edgy, Givenchy-loving fashionisto lately and I'm actually starting to miss my dandy, blazer wearing bowtie branding self. I literally went home and re-organized my closet and take some of my suit jackets out from their cozy garment bags, old sport.


Home stretch till my vacation! Slowly but surely, I'm getting better, foot wise and head cold, both.

In today's editorial post we have an editorial that appears on the newest issue of Class Of Its Own magazine. Upcoming models, Elbio Bonsaglio, Diego Fragoso, Simone Bredariol, Casey Taylor, Edward Wilding, and Micah Dix are captured by the talented Jay Schoen sporting handsome double-breasted suits, a must-have piece this Summer. Guiliano Deidda styles the boys in these sartorial pieces by Canali, Tom Ford, Paul Smith, Z Zegna, Dolce & Gabbana and Hackett London to name a few.
