At Angelo Galasso in Milan, London, Moscow, or New York, you do not find things for ordinary mortals:  These are the collections made UNICO (uniquely) for men which you will remember from made for star-spangled movie sets, for billionaires, for royalty, for celebrities, or for any other man who has the moral courage and the wherewithal to UNICO (uniquely) stand out from others.  The items in the Angelo Galasso collections go beyond the individual and the personalized, frankly speaking, they reach for the stars.

Here is a sample of some of the exceptional things to expect:

• Old sewing machine stitching which allows for 10 stiches per centimeter rather than 7
• Horizontal buttonholes to streamline your looks
• Sewn in collar stiffeners
• Vivid flamboyancy in magic & vibrant colors on the spectrum
• The recurring hexagon Angelo Galasso signature
• The Polso Orologio concept which leaves room inside your shirt to wear your watch
• Traditional patterns in unusual places (hounds-tooth suede shoes anyone?)
• The recurring dragooned and beautiful Angelo Galasso logo
• Internal & strengthened cotton linings
• Unexpected applications of different leathers (snake, crocodile, ostrich) laid into the fabrics

And that is just a sample and a beginning of the uniqueness of the collections.  These museum pieces (quite literally as some of Angelo’s concepts are in museums) are collector pieces each and every one and as shirts are concerned are entirely made by hand.  Most pieces are fit for a modern or a more traditional prince.  They really do not need much showing or advertising because beautiful things of this quality will attract its very own clientele at the appropriate time and place.  Word to mouth suffices and perhaps therefore the less we say in this small article the better that it is.  Let the pictures in this speak for themselves.

Angelo Galasso has a surprisingly large range of menswear in view of the unique quality and value that is offered.  Shirts, shirts, shirts, the most incredible baroque jackets and costumes, shoes, but also jeans and outerwear adorned with a real magic touch.  Again, the whole range goes beyond the personal and the individual because each precious item is UNICO (unique).

When BDMOTP visited the showroom in Milan on the Corso Matteotti, the fall / winter collection was on full display and we studied Angelo’s latest trends as we were given a guided tour.  We marveled at the creations at hand and learned that the theme of the collection is one of ‘Metropolitan Empire’.  But then all of a sudden Angelo himself was there, and perhaps that we should have asked him about being voted Best Dressed Man by GQ in 2013 ahead of David Beckham and Daniel Craig, but instead we asked him about what was his inspiration for the dragon in his famous AG logo – it was the question for the one moment of the one opportunity.

It turns out that Angelo had a recurring and recurring dream about a dragon as a boy which later inspired him to go into tailoring and clothing design.  And so, Angelo Galasso design & clothes for men:  Enter the dragon!  Go visit at your own peril …
