Once upon a time in a land far far away there once lived a man with a vivid imagination. His name was Javier Senosiain and he liked to build kingdoms in the sky. But everyone else didn’t see life like him and so one day he dreamed up a world of wonder and magically it came to life and then everyone lived happily ever after.

Over the weekend I went to pay a visit to my friends from Surface to Air. They were having a sample sale and I stopped in like I do every season to sit on the luxurious leather couch of theirs and to buy a piece of clothing. I support my local designers! Catching up with Mr. Josh Safalow he passed his new business card and on it read MEXICO. Ummm. Yes his company’s name is MEXICO and it’s the showroom for Surface to Air and other brands. There website is Welcome to Mexico NYC.com
