Marching Ahead

11 November 2011

When Milan-based Marco Velardi founded Apartamento Magazine together with his Spanish friends Omar Sosa and Nacho Alegre, they revolutionized the monotonous genre of interior design magazines. Instead of perfectly styled interiors, Apartamento shows apartments the way they really are – lived-in, sometimes untidy and not perfect, but all the more personal and interesting. Besides publishing the magazine, 28-year-old Marco works as a creative consultant, lecturer, and freelance writer for publications like the New York Times’ T Magazine and Interview Magazine. His schedule is pretty busy, so we caught up with him in Stockholm, where he was giving a lecture. Stockholm is also the home base of Marco’s favorite menswear brand Our Legacy. Co-Founder and designer Christopher Nying and his sartorial vision are what Marco considers ahead of time: “It’s almost like Christopher is visualizing ahead of me what I would like to wear in six months.”
