The most exciting thing is when the collection is coming together… these ideas began as embryonic blips and now are actual garments you can touch, feel and wear.
What are your style rules for men in 2017?
Davide Marello - ‘I have many! A good fitting for a suit is a good start. As obvious as it might sound, lots of men wear clothes that are simply ill-fitting – terrible. Next is a good pair of shoes, vital for making that impression. Even if on top you’re wearing a T-shirt, the correct pair of shoes can make or break an outfit. My next rule would be to avoid seasonal trends. Instead go with your own personal style, otherwise you won’t look confident. Feeling yourself – this is timeless style. My last rule is to find something that is intrinsically you. Whether it be a colour, a certain style of jacket, white jeans or maybe a style of hat, to choose a uniform that is special to you is a great way of making a statement. Even a haircut can do this.’
