Hugo and his wife Sonya had not posted a video in many months but dropped a bombshell tonight. They have been in Asia meeting with over 100 sartorial designers and craftspeople to attempt to understand the vast array of artisan sartorial work been undertaken throughout Asia (and recognizing they have only scratched the surface). This project looks utterly epic and their insights are brilliant. I’m glad to have them back! https://youtu.be/6MzQ_tNR96s?is=nb-7iLweFCqAow_C

When in Athens, a vintage clothing store was near my apartment and made me wonder about that types of local items I should consider. I use a fantastic and global style consultant, so I started with him. He had recommendations for common items in both Greece and Italy, but was not sure about what I could find in vintage stores. Still, this helped narrow the field. Then I asked my AI bot the following: analyze my wardrobe database to understand my existing style, then get to know common items one can find at Greek vintage stores and find alignments with items are both Greek and fit my wardrobe. Then, plot a path for me to take a walking tour to hit complimentary stores, highlighting the best types of items to get at each place. It owned this assignment. Distance and walking times, details on core and great surprises to see at each store, how the items fit my wardrobe, and more. The more detail you give in your request, the more it adds additional considerations that kick up the quality of reply it provides. I had way too little time in Athens, but did find a Glen Check tie in Greek flag colors (without out being garish). I will plan more time for Rome! I highly recommend this process for those traveling internationally or even to a sartorially diverse area of your own country.
