This has to be one the most emotional and great stories of a brand that I have recorded on menSwear by A Woman Podcast. I've never come across such a story where I myself froze throughout!

What happened next will never prepare anyone for it, Sushant was not prepared what was coming his way. A brand that has so much value with the creative side, using the most amazing artisans, but the brand holds something so dear to one's heart it only makes you stronger that you have to hold onto it even more than ever! You have to join me in one of the most fascinating stories and conversations I have ever recorded for this podcast. A story that I have also know how it felt suddenly losing someone so dear and how Sushant tells his story in losing someone dear, but at the same time, how menswear in our each way got us back into Menswear. It's a very emotional episode. At the same time, with each of us creatives, we all have some sort of stories that also make us.
