FASHION BLOGGER: FLAVIANO BRUTTO IG: @FLAVIANOBRUTTO WB: HTTPS://WWW.FLAVIANOBRUTTO.COM INTERVIEW WITH ITALIAN FASHION BLOGGER AND TRENDSETTER, FLAVIANO BRUTTO

‘W

elcome, Flaviano, and congratulations on making the front cover of this month’s Swanky Men’s Magazine, The December issue. Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions!

SMM: Hello, can you introduce yourself to Swanky Magazine’s readers?

FB: Hi, i am Flaviano Brutto an italian Fashion Blogger and Trendsetter.

SMM: Can you explain to our readers why you chose fashion designing as a career pathway?

FB: I could say I was “born into it” since i grew up surrounded by yarns and spools and needles and crochets.

SMM: Do you have any characteristics or a fashion style that you can describe to our readers?

FB: I had a strict upbringing and education but what characterized me most was that I lived in New York during the fantabulous 80’s, shoulder pads and all, and I lived those cultural and artistic years that we still look back on with nostalgia and, sometimes, regret.

While it was a music-filled decade of staggering impact that made for unforgettable memories, we were also losing friends and family in staggering numbers.

SMM: What was your journey into the fashion industry, and how did you get to the point you have got to now?

FB: Mingling with people in fashion & show business and meeting living legends I had the opportunity to learn firsthand some skills that would later make me pioneer “Image Consultant” back in Italy.

SMM: Can you explain to our audience how and why your fashion blog came into fruition.

FB: Starting a Fashion Blog came only natural.

SMM: Where can our readers keep up with you and your talented work?

FB: As Trendsetter and Fashion Blogger, living for fashion, with my Blog, FLAVIANOBRUTTO.COM, and my instagram account, FLAVIANOBRUTTO, I take you on a journey of discovery of trend and fashion.

MEN’S EDITION

SMM: Can you describe to our readers what knowledge and services you offer to your clients in the world of fashion?

FB: I want help you find your own style that makes you unique and stand out even if you are a few years older and with a few extra pounds.

SMM: As a fashion designer, do you have a mantra, mission or motto to get you through your personal life or your professional life?

FB: This is my uniqueness and my mission: dedicate my experience and work to those who are no longer young and do not have a perfect body.

SMM: As a fashion designer and trendsetter how would you describe the nature of your career?

FB: I am not an influencer who simply advertises whatever is asked of him, but I am a Trendsetter, I have a personality and a welldefined and recognizable style that characterizes all my work.

SMM: As a trendsetter, what makes your outfits different to other trendsetters or brands out there?

FB: As a trendsetter I enjoy doing “mix & match”: by mixing and matching different styles and look I create outfits that are unique to myself and for those who rely on me to find their own style that enhances them.

SMM: What is a must-have characteristic to be a trendsetter?

FB: Another typical characteristic of the trendsetter is to find a look or an accessory and make it a must-have.

SMM: In this photoshoot, featuring you as the model, fur makes a big fashion statement. Can you explain why fur is the showstopper here?

FB: An in fact, for this winter i wanted to propose FUR for men too: “FUR, the warm hug for the trendiest man”.

There is nothing more fashionable than a warm and enveloping hug in this cold season.After a long period in which fur was demonized, finally it is the protagonist of the most prestigious catwalks.

The fur, this iconic garment, faux fur or not, which was a status symbol for entire generations has today become a must-have also for gentlemen.
