Lazzaro, Cultural Attaché Emeritus

Lazzaro has lived several lifetimes — all of them in perfect tailoring. He danced at Studio 54, hung out with Basquiat, and once convinced Robert De Niro to buy a mid-century bar cart shaped like a swan. His signature suit, a checked Tommy Nutter was picked up at a stoop sale held by Ringo Starr in ’74. He married a supermodel (briefly), fathered the Nepo Brothers and spent decades as fashion’s unofficial diplomat, equal parts flâneur, fixer, shoe enthusiast. He once sourced a Soviet-era chandelier for Madonna and delivered it himself, via Vespa. Now, in his mellowed phase (if such a word applies), Lazzaro helms The Mayfair Townhouse, a private salon and treasure trove tucked behind an unmarked door.
