Gianluca Migliarotti (Pommella Napoli) | #010
To close Season One, Aleks sits down with Gianluca Migliarotti, filmmaker, petrolhead and co-founder of Pommella Napoli.
A proud Neapolitan, and a creative spirit, Gianluca tells Aleks how he grew up immersed in Naples’ tailoring culture, how he fell in love with Pommella Napoli’s bespoke trousers and took the business on two years ago. He also waxes lyrical on his love of 1960s and ‘70s supercar design, where he thinks design brands make mistakes in a crowded market, and explains his passion for filmmaking. Gianluca has created a number of documentaries on Italian tailoring, craft and menswear, including O’Mast, and The Colours of Antonio.
