Glenn Laiken Clothing Designer - A L A N D A L E S - A True American Icon - David Harrison Levi

You may not know the name...but you have definitely seen his work. Known worldwide as not only a designer extraordinaire...but a sought after voice
in fashion -- Glenn Laiken is being acclaimed as "the man who creates
images for the who's who in the entertainment industry" and "the man who
makes men look their best."

It started in 1968 when Glenn was flown to Paris by Maurice Beiderman, the
owner of the Pierre Cardin and YSL labels for North
America. Working behind-the-scenes with many famous designers -- Glenn
was among the first to bring European Designer Menswear into the United
States introducing such lines as Zegna, Zanella, Hugo Boss, Pancaldi and
many others.

A L A N D A L E S, the Los Angeles store founded by Glenn in 1968, immediately
starting attracting the "who's who" of Los Angeles as clients -- including
Michael Eisner, Arnold Rifkin and Michael Ovitz as well as the head of
every major studio. These Hollywood power brokers became the unintended,
best form of advertising. ALANDALES has been featured in many television
shows and movies from the classic "American Gigilo," (Giorgio Armani's
first clothing assignment...the rest is history...) to the DR. PHIL show.

Located across the street from Sony Studios, ALANDALES currently works with
top costumers, designers and suppliers from all of the major studios --
Universal, Warner Brothers, Disney and Paramount among others. Glenn
currently designs all of the wardrobe for bestselling author and talk show
phenomenon Dr. Phil McGraw, best known as "Dr. Phil," Phil Jackson, coach
for the Los Angeles Lakers, executives at every major studio and CEOs for
corporations worldwide.

A sought-after designer worldwide, Glenn currently designs for several
different manufacturers in Italy, Canada and America -- including a
collection for Mabro, one of Italy's finest hand made clothing
manufacturers. (Mabro produces the coture for Prada, Louis Vuitton and
several other famous names worldwide). Glenn also has his his own
collection of men's quality dress shirts being made in
Pakistan...the quality of Borelli, Loranzini and Brioni at a fraction of
the cost using the finest Italian cottons.
"My mission is to make every man look his absolute best -- based on his
personal image," said Glenn. "Working with his skin, hair and eye color is
the answer to his personal color palette. Then I can create his personal
wardrobe using his colors, textures and fabrics which makes him look
his absolute best."
