4Looking back on 50 years in menswear, Joseph J. Barrato-former CEO of Brioni USA, president of Ralph Lauren's Purple and Black Labels, and president of Moncler-presents a "style memoir," featuring significant moments that affected his career, notable figures (industry legends and beyond) who impacted his path, and a variety of personal style essentials. Neither a how-to, nor a biography in the traditional sense, this handsome illustrated volume offers pearls of wisdom, tributes to classic elegance, and more. In this age of ever more casual dressing, Barrato's reflections make us stop and consider the sartorial polish of days past and the enduring dignity of dressing as a gentleman, both in years gone by and as we move into the future.
