It’s beautiful.Angelo and I discuss working through the pandemic, what he learned at Engineered Garments, how he has been handling all the attention, finding himself through his brand, and what’s next for 4S Designs. **Sponsored by Standard & Strange – Get the facts on loopwheel 👕 hereandSponsored by Topper Jewelers – The place to buy your next watch Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
