What do you love most about your industry?

One of the things we love the most is the product itself in terms of artisanship (made in Italy) innovation, heritage, aesthetic. The mix of these components intrigues us the most. New materials colors, applications, finishings… It’s magical. Also, the fact that it’s a very volatile and competitive industry is a factor; to succeed you must constantly challenge and push yourself to the limit, this usually leads to self-improvement. Every day as an executive you are forced to look at the world surrounding you and evaluate if the choices and strategies that have been put in place are still actual and appropriate. Another thing we like is the variety of people you meet. Being such an international and diverse industry, every day is a discovery and the level/quality of people you meet and interact with is extremely high. It’s an open and fluid industry where dogmas and stereotypes are constantly challenged and broken.

As a brand, Moschino has always been fashion forward and in some ways provocative. Its shows, since the time of Franco Moschino, always attracted lots of curiosity from the public and media. Nobody really knew what was going to happen because with Moschino anything is possible. Even nowadays we retain this peculiarity and our shows are always an event you must attend during fashion week. In Moschino APAC we try to keep this spirit in everything we do to transmit the same values to our colleagues spread around Asia, especially after 3 years of limited traveling where physical distances have been exacerbated. We are a simple, human and agile reality and even though we might not have the same size and strength of other Fashion groups, our out of the box attitude allows us to fill the gap and still play a role in this fun game that is fashion.

What are the special relationships between Moschino and Hong Kong?

Moschino has been present in Hong Kong for decades and Hong Kong people have always been very receptive, attached, and supportive of the brand. Hong Kong has been one of the key milestones of Moschino presence in Asia and particularly in China. Starting from this city the brand was able to nourish, to build solid roots that eventually led to an exponential growth in the region. Without Hong Kong, Moschino wouldn’t be the Moschino of Today, this city played absolutely an instrumental role in the history and development of the Maison. As we speak, we have 4 stores in Hong Kong operated by our long-term partner Bluebell. The city is still going through a moment of readjustment following the COVID crisis. We believe it is necessary to deeply rethink the way retail was done in Hong Kong, the parameters have changed and business KPI should adjust accordingly; in order to succeed Retailers and Hong Kong landlords will have to sit down and discuss face to face how to make the Hong Kong retail landscape great again. It’s a matter of teamwork now more than ever before.

How would you describe your company in 3 words and why?

There are many concepts that define such unique and bespoke brand as Sanlorenzo but if we were to select three, they could be:

Sanlorenzo yachts are elegant and represent timeless design that does not go out of fashion. Their profile is simple, clean, streamlined, and easy to recognize throughout entire range of Yachts and Superyacht across all sizes starting from 76 ft all the way up to 70m+

Innovative

The brand has a world-class R&D (Research and Design) department that introduces unique solutions on board. It is worth to mention their cross-over range of SX yachts with an extended aft platform for water toys and more active life at sea, a reversed windshield solution for the helm station that allows for more interior space and reduces sun glare and heating, an enclosed flybridge that can be air-conditioned, the asymmetric layout on SL yachts, an iconic floodable beach club on the 52 Steel with a translucent roof created by the pool on the main deck, as well as many sustainable solutions in terms of propulsion and fuel consumption with an ambitious goal to build a net zero emission superyacht powered by methanol fuel cell only by 2027.

Elegant Bespoke

As a boutique brand, Sanlorenzo builds only 50-60 yachts per year, for discerning connoisseurs. Each yacht is unique and represents the taste and lifestyle of its owner. And while Sanlorenzo has an in-house team of experienced yacht designers, the shipyard maintains close relationships with world renown interior designs for specific projects and should the customer wish to take their yacht design to another level. Collaborations that are worth mentioning include Piero Lissoni, Christian Liaigre, Patricia Urquiola, Laura Sessa, John Pawson, Antonio Citterio, Patricia Viel, Dordoni Architetti and in Asia, Steve Leung Designers.
