March 13, 2012: Spotted on the Upper West Side. Tim Quinlan, Owner of his family real estate investment and development company. Tim is wearing a custom made jacket and shirt by Sabino (an Italian tailor who comes to New York four times per year), Trovata pants, and Cortina monogrammed belt from Barneys.

George was born in Africa and grew up in London where he said everyone dresses well and also where he developed his style. George is wearing a Boglioli suit, Stephano Branchini shoes sold only at Bergdorf Goodman and a seven fold Isaia tie. He comments that he likes Boglioli suits because they are slim fit so he doesn't need to do any alterations and that he likes to wear seven fold ties because they give a good knot.

March 12, 2012: Spotted on New York City's Park Avenue. Brian, in a big rush, stopped for a quick snap, but rushed away before I could ask his last name and profession. I called after him to ask him what he was wearing and he turned around, said 'Armani' and was on his way
