Have you met the 12 gentlemen in The A-List 2018? Yes, good looking men are a dime a dozen but these gentlemen are men of substance, and captains of their industries.

Nothing forges bonds faster than shared adversity and during The A-List 2018 weekend retreat at One Farrer Hotel and Spa, the 12 gentlemen came as strangers and left as fast friends.

Immediately after checking in, the A-Listers convened at the hotel pool for a unique The A-List 2018 challenge – The Sartorial Situation with Ermenegildo Zegna.

It was a style relay comprising four stations that encompass the style hurdles the modern man would face. The A-Listers had to tie a bow tie, fold a pocket square, pack a bag for travel, and of course, occasionally jump into the pool to save a person (or animal) in distress.
