Canali makes one of the best suits in the world; If I had to sum it up, I would have to put my finger on their tradition in textiles that dates back to the 1900s. Two brothers, Giovanni and Giacomo Canali, artisans in their own right, holed up in Triuggio, Brianza to make well cut, […]

Tomorrowland Co. Ltd is a brand close to my heart. Slightly older than I am, I’ve been tracking their collections since I first heard of them in Spring 2009.
