Introducing Andrea Pompilio
Everything is turning Italian.
It might not all be Italian made but folks are really on the Italian kick. Soft shouldered sport coats, spread collars, it’s nice.
If it’s a trend that’s fine because it’s a damn good one and hopefully will stick around for a long long time.
I recently stumbled upon Andrea Pompilio and like Ian Valerdi, I can’t seem to get enough.
Imagine re-designing Brioni sportswear, while listening to a ton Portishead, mixed with a bit of a 1960′s british mod…
BOOM!
Out pops Andrea Pompilio!
After cutting his teeth at Prada, Calvin Klein, and YSL the designer made his debut at Pitti’s F/W 2011 show. He even won the “Who’s On Next” award for an up and coming designer. The man knows his stuff.
I first saw it and was a bit bummed that it wasn’t just jackets with ties, then I realized this guy’s doing something a bit different, but not so different it’s bad. The more I looked at it, the more I liked it. The collection actually got picked up by Park & Bond so thankfully this isn’t one of those, “check out this awesome brand that you’ll never be able to buy” posts. I checked out a few pieces in person and they’re amazing.
Really, really amazing.
Thank goodness I’ve gotten some extra jobs lately as you now know what this guy’s saving up for.

Love Andrea Pompilio. Everything is so carefully thought about. I love tailoring like that.
I love this style!
It’s my fav for a man
