This is the opening episode of a long series of videos dedicated to the Sartorial Scene in Asia. Recently, Hugo & Sonya have extensively travelled in Asia in search of the best tailors, shoemakers, shirt makers and sartorial artisans country by country: Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan and Singapore.
A one-of-a-kind and demanding project involving hundreds of visits in 12 countries in order to point the sartorial cognoscenti and the Sartorial Talks followers in the right direction in Asia.
