My favourite holiday

Nikhil Mehra,

My favourite holiday destination is the south of Italy, where I went with my wife after we got married. We had a great time, strolling about and taking in the charming sights and sounds so typical to Italy. We tasted different kinds of food, visited a great number of medieval buildings and simply had a lovely time. I even went skiing! And needless to say, Italy is a paradise for fashionistas, and just the place to head to if you want a taste what’s hot in men’s fashion. It was a truly memorable trip.
