Gianluca Migliarotti (Pommella Napoli) | #010

HandCut Radio

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.
Thank you very much indeed for your support over the course of our debut season, and we’ll see you again for the launch of Season Two in the next couple of months.
