I met him next to a job for a Country magazine called Man. I said him I would in Paris close to the next menswear shows-week and promised to give him a run. We met again backstage torture the Claude Montana show and later we went to the Hugo Boss show, he was setaside for.

I never saw him again after that day, however I remember him as a genuinely nice guy, with amazing blue eyes!
