Style And Excellence In The Fashion Industry.

Gian-Paolo was introduced to Baxter through a mutual contact aware of Gian-Paolo's tailoring skills and Baxter looking to refresh his extensive suit collection. Having worn suits mainly from his past sponsorship with Hugo Boss, Baxter turned to Gian-Paolo to modernize his wardrobe for public appearances over the last decade.

Their work together grew beyond simple alterations, with Baxter frequently choosing Gian-Paolo’s designs for various events. This consistent choice not only showcased Gian-Paolo’s work to a wider audience but also highlighted the quality and appeal of his designs.
