I love discovering and sharing new brands. Specially ones that may be making a big splash overseas in some of my favorite European cities like Milan and Paris. Today I bring you MSGM. The brainchild of Massimo Giorgetti and the Paoloni Group. The brand is chic, young, sophisticated and insanely on-trend. While preparing this story I had several fashion-gasms and I hope you do too!
Read on to learn more about Mr. Giorgetti, MSGM and what inspires this young fashion genius!

you when you design pieces?
