In 2019, Milanese David Marello walked away from his birth country to introduce his brand in Paris. Breaking the rules of his sartorial upbringing, Davi Paris’ bold, artistic, brush-painted prints adorn soft, billowing, lightweight silk shirts and PJ-like ensembles. A fitting transition for a career that began in small independent labels before making the jump to Giorgio Armani in 2002, Gucci in 2006, and to Boglioni in 2016 as the brand’s first-ever creative director. His skills as a classically trained tailor were honed over 10 years at Gucci, first under Frida Giannini then Alessandro Michele. Davi’s understated tailoring is perfect for a new generation craving irreverent styles. Comfortable, bold, and romantic.
