Lapo Elkann : Style Spotlight


He's an Italian born industrialist, best known for notoriously surviving a nearly fatal drug overdose that put him in a coma in 2005, while in the company of a group of older transsexuals.

Lapo is not all discos and downers, he's a well known playboy who's dated Italy's hottest women, has a well documented unique dress sense and currently spends his time developing ItaliaIndependent.com a platform to promote products developed and made in Italy.

Lets be honest, he does fuck all, but atleast he's letting it all hang out there.

A snippet of why he's made the D'Marge Spotlight.

  • He was named one of the best-dressed men by vanity fair for the last 2 years.
  • He inherited 20 Cararceni suits from his grandfather, Gianni Agnelli when he died in 2003. (I got a shoe brush and my cousin got the air-rifle.)
  • Men's Vogue had a 3-page article about his style in Fall 2005 issue. (3 more pages than I have had)
  • He also has the Italian flag sewen on his ties. (The Aussie flag is possibly the uncoolest flag in existence, I wouldn't sew it on my worst enemy)
  • He designed a Fiat sweatshirt with the guys from Dsquared that is sold in Europe.
  • Finally, he ODs in a room full of trannies and lives to tell the tale, respect.
