Along the way, he met celebrities, poseurs, and desperate rich women, all searching for their own slice of luxury. With humor and humility, Tonello shares his story of perseverance and entrepreneurial spirit. This memoir offers a unique glimpse into the world of high-end fashion and the people who drive its obsession.
