Stylist — Milan
03Interview
Name, where are you from?
Alessandro, I’m from Venice, Italy but now I live in Milan.
What do you do?
Stylist and content creator.
Describe your style in three words?
Adaptable, Genderless, Fast.
What’s the best gig you've ever been to?
Asap Rocky in Amsterdam, 2015. Asap Rocky was my favourite artist at the time and was my first time in Amsterdam too.
If you could put any three bands in history on a lineup?
The Libertines, Strokes and Justin Timberlake from the 'What Goes Around.../...Comes Around' era. Looks like a 2007 Glastonbury or Reading festival line up.
Which subcultures have influenced you?
Indie Rock, Kawaii and Emo.
If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
Lil Peep, I love him. I wish I could have met him when he was alive.
Where is your favourite independent venue in Italy?
New Age in Treviso. Literally, the only place where I could listen to good music when I was in Venice.
Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
Paolo Nutini, he reminds me of the first time I went to London when I was a child. His track was everywhere, on the radio on the taxi everywhere.
