Last week during Pitti Uomo, forecast called for thunderstorms over Florence luckily the only thunder heard on thursday evening was those of the motocross bikes at Marcelo Burlon's premiere fashion show. Burlon started County of Milan awhile back as a Stylist/PR and DJ, let's say a party starter extraordinaire. Marcelo bears a contagious charm and transmits a vivacious energy that ignites his fan base on this positive groove. 

So a couple of years ago he transitioned and made head waves applying his zest for life into designing hoodies and tees which he expressed with animalistic prints. But last week County of Milan showed it's first full on collection for Spring/Summer 2015 which consisted of new patterns for his signature tees and hoodies but also basketballs, leather pants, jerseys, skateboards and some ill high-top sneakers. He puts loads of heart and soul in his collection. The roots of Patagonia and Milan are carried prominent throughout the pieces. Marcelo always had a full concept in mind and he didn't stop till he made that vision come to life. Congrats Brother.
