Bio

Marco Denaro

Marco Denaro was born in Messina in 1990. After a turbulent childhood, he began studying architecture at art school, a discipline which was to absorb some of the best years of his life. At the age of 17, however, he moved to Milan and against everyone’s expectations, embarked on a career in the fashion industry. He graduated in Fashion Design from IED Moda Milano and now works for a leading company in the knitwear sector. Marco is a particularly exuberant guy with a foolish soul. He loves excess and originality, which makes him a prime candidate for this project. 

Interview

What has been your inspiration for the EASTPAK Artist Studio Bag(s)?
I tried to see each backpack like a person with a different personality, like a world apart, the world of luxury (made up of gold and glitz), the world of a rebellious boy (grunge) and a simple, poor world (with effects made by common materials and treatment like fake dirty).

Which city do you live in – can you tell us what it’s best kept secret is?
Unfortunately I live in Milan, poor city of art and inspiration in my humble opinion.
If I have to say, a place with inspiring secret is the Central cemetery, eerie, but very inspiring.

When was the last time you did something for the first time?
Every day. Every day to me is different from the previous, so it's easy to me to feel like if I'm doing something for the first time.

Can you name three major things on your ‘bucketlist’ – three things you want to do before you ‘kick the bucket’…
Surely at first place travel, travel to fed up, at second place find my gol, eventually a bit like everyone, to have a modest success and fulfilment in my career field.

The proceeds from the sales of your bag will go entirely to Designers Against AIDS – What are your views on safe sex? Do you personally think it’s still important?
I think it's more than important, is vital.
