In this episode of Textural Anthologies, we sit down with Gianmarco Messori, a key figure in the evolution of Italian craftsmanship—the second generation of a family-run brand that began its journey in the mid-’70s. Our guest today has not only upheld the legacy of Messori but has also steered the brand in exciting new directions. We explore how the concept of ‘Made in Italy’ has transformed over the past 40 years, and how our Gianmarco has introduced innovative business models that are shaping the future of the brand. From its roots in a small Italian town, Messori expanded across Europe and has now become a reference point for men’s tailoring in Africa. We also discuss the profound impact of COVID-19 on the fashion industry, and how Messori is adapting its tailoring to reflect the new normal in a changing world.
