If you happen to be along the Almafi Coast in Italy head to Salerno for a bit of menswear shopping. Walking on the Via Mercanti in the old city I saw Ferlazzo Giuseppe store with a sign posted of 50% off. My “SALE GENE” kicked in. The two floor store carries some stylish Neapolitan pieces.
Normally I have a podcast interview office to office. But this time it turned out a bit different. I sent Andrea Mazzuca the link for the podcast. Mr. Mazzuca was in his sports car.
Check out the interview below.
I met Fashion Designer Brett Johnson in Milan at Fashion Week Men during his eponymous label’s presentation on via Manzoni. Tailored, luxury materials are the elements of all his collections. Curiosity got the best of me. I wanted to know what influenced him to become a designer. With co host Alex Popov, we discuss fashion and what men should have in their wardrobe.
However, I am inspired to work on my shoe count after this shoe count. A person can never have enough. I’ll keep you posted.

You Never Know
I have a saying “You Never Know Where People Will Be In The Future. I meet all kinds all the time. Some are starting their career. A few months or years later they are on the upswing. I met Patrick at a presentation in Milan. I grabbed a pic for my Hot Face Collection.

No Bad Hair Screen Wear
Still, in yet another lockdown since November the barbers and hair salons have been closed. Perhaps, getting a hair appointment, maybe possible on March 1st. Until then, with all my online conferences, interviews and meetings, I do not want to want to leave a lasting impression with a James Brown mugshot hairstyle. I adapted a lockdown style. It’s one thing to have a “Bad Hair day”. But, like everyone during these times, I am living “Bad Hair Months”. I may wear mismatched socks under the desk, but the thought of having unruly hair immortalized on social media is a no go zone, an epic nightmare.
Thankfully, luxury Italian hat brand Borsalino gave me some hats to use. Each style has been a lifesaver. I decide on a hat and shirt before the digital medium close up.
Thank you to the Borsalino Team for giving me the hats.
