"They thought I sounded American, so I was made an assistant buyer for the Ralph Lauren line." That job took him from London to Paris and back, and inspired him to do more.
His experience led him to Hong Kong, where he worked as a menswear buyer for Lane Crawford Joyce Group, a leading Asian high-end retailer. "Here I was at 25 in the centre of luxury brands and travelling all over the world," he says.
While there, he received a call from Milan to oversee global retail operations for Nicola Trussardi.,We supply cheap gucci,cheap lv,nike af1 etc. Eventually his career brought him to L.A. to manage worldwide distribution for the likes of BCBG Max Azria and !iT Jeans.
