I first came across the flamboyant Mr Elkann in an issue of Vogue homme where he did an article on his Italian bachelor pad. Now I'm a real fan of Italian fashion and the confidence that Italian men have when they dress but what stands out about Lapo is he simply takes it to another level! I am a massive admirer of Lapo's signature capsule wardrobe consists of fine Italian tailoring, loafers, knitted ties and through the winter fine wool scarves matched with a tailored jacket. Lapo's eccentricity shines through in his accessories, for instance hes a fan of brightly coloured rimmed sunglasses and trilby hats. Also he is well known for putting together some very colourful combinations when it comes to his formal attire, which is so admirable as it just seems so natural to him! In a fashion world where a lot of people follow from each season what colours and styles are in and out, Lapo Elkann simply rips the menswear manual into shreds.
I love this A/W look as Lapo pairs a beautiful DB jacket with trousers, loafers and scarf.
Even at the beach Lapo's effortless style shines through. Here he is with his trademark trilby and neon pink shades.
Signore Elkann in a great summer look with blazer, shorts and brown suede tassel loafers. There's not many men that can pull off a baby blue suit, but Lapo Elkann does it like its water off a duck back! Again its this confidence and serious swagger that makes Lapo one of my style icons.
