Sri Lanka’s leading menswear specialist Hameedia has been chosen to be featured in ‘Exclusive Resorts and Day Spas,’ an award-winning television show featuring leading resorts, hotels and attractions from around the world. The show is aired on the Cox Media network in the USA, and is soon to be aired on other networks around the world.
Alexander Shambly, the programme’s celebrity host who was in Colombo recently, singled out Hameedia to be featured on the programme. “In my opinion, Hameedia is one of the best tailors in the world of fashion. I have been very impressed by the quality of its work and its sheer professionalism. Although the show is mainly about leading resorts, hotels and attractions, I thought it fit to include Hameedia in the Sri Lanka segment and promote it as among the best in this region,” he said.
“As a former international model myself and having been at the forefront of the fashion and beauty business for over 25 years, I admire Hameedia for its creative design. Its products are world class and there’s no reason why Hameedia shouldn’t do well on the highly competitive international market,” Shambly added. The programme has been in production for the past six years and has done numerous episodes. More popular destinations have been the Maldives, Dubai, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Australia, Thailand and Singapore. Primary viewership is from the USA, Australia and Europe with web-based traffic attracting viewers across 35 countries.
Exclusive Resorts and Day Spas has featured the leading resorts and hotels including luxury brands such as Raffles Hotels, Kempinski, John Keells Group, W Hotels and Taj Hotels to name a few.
Shambly has written articles for leading lifestyle and travel publications including Mode Bride, Nosatras Magazine as a fashion and travel journalist; Wentworth Courier (travel article), The Bulletin and other international lifestyle and travel publications.
Shambly’s company Lifestyles Incorporated operates in the major fashion centres of the world with an international reputation for delivering world class service and keeping abreast of changing fashion trends throughout the world.
He has successfully presented fashion shows around the world designed for the corporate woman in mind. His symposium covers fashion, day and evening make-up techniques, latest hair care trends, health and nutrition as well as dressing for success.
Shambly has lectured for Prime Ministers and Heads of State both in Australia and overseas. He is one of the most respected authorities of Lifestyle Television in the world, as he often appears on leading resorts and hotels of the world’s websites.
The programme’s website receives one million hits a week globally.
“I look forward to promoting the Hameedia enterprise globally and working with them in the future on many destinations and projects to come,” Shambly concluded.
