Hu Zhen is a Columbia University graduate who was deeply influenced by the style of dress in New York. As a result, he founded Mr. Dandy, which injected freedom and fashion elements into China’s haute couture suit industry. Hu observed the development and changes of suits at a contemporary management level on Wall Street in order to run Mr. Dandy well, taking into account, too, the cultural differences between the east and the west. Mr. Dandy has become one of the most popular men's couture brands in China, with customers that range from elites of the business world to sports and entertainment stars.
