It is a steamy day in Manhattan but buyers from Bloomingdale’s, Saks Fifth Avenue and other big-name department stores have been lured out of their air-conditioned lairs to the midtown offices of an Indian company called S. Kumars Nationwide Limited. The attraction? The latest collections of men’s suits from such venerable American names as Hickey Freeman, President Barack Obama’s favourite tailor.
這是濕熱的一天,但布魯明戴爾(Bloomingdale’s)、薩克斯第五大道(Saks Fifth Avenue)等一些大名鼎鼎的百貨商店的采購員都不辭辛勞,離開裝有空調的辦公室,涌入紐約曼哈頓中城一家名為S.Kumars Nationwide Limited(簡稱SKNL)的印度公司的辦公室。這里有何吸引人之處?答案是由喜奇?菲力(Hickey Freeman)等美國著名時裝設計師設計的最新男裝系列——菲力是美國總統巴拉克?奧巴馬(Barack Obama)最鐘愛的服裝設計師。
