“Being male is a matter of birth. Being a man is a matter of age. But, being a gentleman is a matter of choice.” – Edwin Louis Cole
Recently I attended Nival Salon and Spa’s Modern Gentlemen event hosted by stylist William Henry Rawls. I arrived at the event with my lovely plus 1 and made my way to the food table. There I met shoe designer Marcus Flythe, where we discussed his range of shoes and his plans on expanding to online. I was happy to meet up with photographer, Joy Asico whom I first met previously at a Jimmy Choo event.
