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.
