That opportunity really built my whole vision because I got to see very creative, very good people and their work.

And it was, and back then this was like late nineties, early two thousands in New York city.

It was scoop and you know, it's all multi-label.

Yes.

Yeah.

So I remember, so funny, I remember going to Big Drop and Scoop, write down the labels they have and try to get those, you know, all that stuff, like, you know, trade shows.

It was a different world then.

Yeah.

So I got to learn a lot.

And then in my career, I worked for high-end men's...

wear company.

It's called Domenico Vacca.

And I did some custom suits for them in the team.

I was in the team.

But then I ended up working for a handbag company.

It's called Delfino.

They have shop in New York.

And I was doing their buying also and working with them.
