What I appreciate with Angelo’s most standout-ish style is the disproportion between the short men’s crew-cut and the beard style that’s tailored naturally by mother nature. Spot on and effortless.

I have seen him a lot on blogs these past few days so this Angelo Flaccavento was really intriging for me. When I see him I can’t help but thinking of the fashion for men during the XIX th because of his big beard that I absolutely find elegant and distinctive. I am in love with ALL of his outfits I have seen so far, there is NONE that I don’t like. All about this man sounds very elegant and italian with a retro touch.
I loved this interview and that he exists. I call him The Young Freud. I have not seen the movie yet, but will. I think you should add a question to your designers, when you think you will hook a good remark. What fountain pen or pens do you use? I know I will be taking my pen out and entering the quotes he used, and quoting him, and writing it twice, once in Italic and once Spencerian. Wish I could forward this to a certain nephew in law. He is a dresser and has taken my stetsons and derbies (4 years ago) and I gave him Countess what’s-her-name bow ties, but he is still challenged in the bow tie field, and auntie should have held them back and used them with her blouses, but, Alas….
I absolutely love this piece. After seeing his photo so many times on the blog, it was kind of refreshing to learn more about him. I’m actually curious enough to look into the author’s he reads on my new Kindle!
I love this interview! More of these! By the way, every one of his outfits is making me want to faint! Denim blazer? Yup. Plaid bow tie? Yup. Seersucker shorts suit? Yup. Can he do no wrong?
I fully enjoyed this interview. Without saying a word, his style of dress conveyed a lot about him…his thoughtfulness, his depth and his dedication to his lifestyle. The words he shared with you were but confirmation of his appearance.
I love the interview.I love the answers.I love people who loves to read, books and movies.Thanks for the advices.And…i din’t thougth Sicilia was so beautiful before i visited the island..
I don’t know who you are (sorry) but i really loved what you said at the end “One should look like he did not try at all” truer words were never spoken, I hope too one day live up to them. My desire is to dress age appropriate with exceptions..
He is incredibly stylish and has an amazing wardrobe. But I’ve looked up a number of the items he wears, and they are very, very expensive. How can he afford them? Does he make that much money, or does he get them for free or little?

that’s the point of your blog. Thats why I check it as soon as I can.
first it shows that fashion is not as superficial as it could seem for people (even people thinking they love fashion)
and its about fashion, but it’s not about it. it’s about art, about times, about us.
