His Teachings Will Always Remain Sacred For Me

'A matter of Culture, Art, Craftsmanship and Heritage.
For me being well dressed is not just a fact of looking good, it means much more. It means understanding the culture of what I’m wearing. Like knowing the difference between the Neapolitan tailoring and the English one. Bespoke clothes are just not clothes; they are pieces of art that represent your personal taste and how the tailor converts fabrics into something unique. The profession of a tailor sometimes is not the most conformable of all; the huge hours of work, the passion and love they put must be appreciated when you wear these clothes.
Being able to produce your own clothes will make you an artist because you have to imagine everyday colors, patterns and combinations that will create something new. But most important, this is a matter of heritage that can be transmitted generation by generation. I will always remember when my Italian grandfather used to help me with my tie knots before the formal party’s and used to tell me “mai uscire senza il fazzoletto sul petto”, which means, never go out without your pocket square in your chest, this small advice and his teachings will always remain sacred for me. I aim to have this with my future generations one day.'

People Call Me The 'Socks Guy'

'Confidence and Diversity reflect me, so I incorporate that in whatever I do. Back in college comrades of mine used to get mad at the fact that I always bailed out whenever we all planned to dress up. I started building a wardrobe the summer before my senior yearr of college. I'm a Finance guy and menswear is very important. From then on I started falling more and more in love with menswear.
According to my fiancée my style is modern, dapper, and preppy. People also call me the 'socks guy'. Monday through Friday you'll catch me wearing suits, ties and socks. You'll always see me with a fresh and flashy pair of socks week round. Details play an important role. It was something that speaks in my personal style. It could be any essentials that I wear but the socks will reflect the color of my tie or pocket square in my suit.
Self confidence, details and fit have always been important in my style. My dad always tell me, "That first impression is important and your personality can be judged by the way you dress."'
