A couple of years ago, I lived a dream for a few weeks.
I wrote, co-produced, hosted and co-directed a pilot for a TV show filmed in Milan. “Jacket Required” was pitched as a one-hour travel show about how style is expressed around the world, in clothing, food and culture. We started in Milan, one of the top style capitals in the world.
I had the immense pleasure of interviewing some of the greatest names in menswear and visiting a remarkable selection of ateliers, shops and factories , including the great honour of speaking with Gianni Campagna, who passed away last fall.
Unfortunately, the show did not find a broadcaster. I am sharing the trailer [and a selection of some of the show’s features on my blog] to make sure it does find an audience and who knows, maybe a new life.
