We rarely talk about our clients but for @neptune_papers tenth issue titled “Icons” we asked our friend, client and mentor @bengorham if he would consider letting us shoot him during a regular fitting session. When @williamsdaytona asked me to write a this story in my own words I was happy to reflect on how meaningful it feels to serve our clients and learn from their experiences and approaches. Every encounter is a gift that we cherish. In the case of Ben, he is an individual we admired long before meeting him for what he has built and for his unique eye and point of view in matters of taste. An incredibly generous and thoughtful person who gets your respect without asking for it.
A week of beauty and curiosities. We thank our marvelous host Athena and the Convento for setting the stage and Aris for always educating us in style and presence. Resort SS26 with its ready to wear edit is now live. Explore at @samanamel
