...Many Filipinos find success in New York but there are actually very few who become the first Filipino to do this, or the first Filipino to do that. My long-time friend Vin Servillon is the first Filipino ever to be commissioned by Saks Fifth Avenue to paint six of its iconic store windows right on Fifth Avenue.
For New Yorkers, consumers, and fashion folk alike, this is quite a feat because the legendary department store only features two to three artists a year and it being New York, the pool of artists they choose from are, quite literally, the most select and most talented in the world.
