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.
这是湿热的一天,但布鲁明戴尔(Bloomingdale’s)、萨克斯第五大道(Saks Fifth Avenue)等一些大名鼎鼎的百货商店的采购员都不辞辛劳,离开装有空调的办公室,涌入纽约曼哈顿中城一家名为S.Kumars Nationwide Limited(简称SKNL)的印度公司的办公室。这里有何吸引人之处?答案是由喜奇•菲力(Hickey Freeman)等美国著名时装设计师设计的最新男装系列——菲力是美国总统巴拉克•奥巴马(Barack Obama)最钟爱的服装设计师。
