NAME: Gianluca Cantaro
MAGAZINES/EMPLOYERS: L‘Uomo Vogue – Edizioni Conde Nast Spa.
OCCUPATION: Journalist.
OFFICIAL JOB TITLE: Managing Editor.
STAR SIGN: Sagittarius
PORN-STAR NAME (FIRST PET’S NAME + MOTHER’S MAIDEN NAME): My first pet was female, so I can only be: Giordano. It could be a good porn star name.
FIRST JOB: I worked in a fashion store during the week ends.
WORST JOB: When I distributed the yellow pages door to door in winter rainy weather.
WHAT ARE YOU WEARING (ON THE DAY YOUR PORTRAIT WAS TAKEN)? Vintage Run DMC t-shirt, Dior Homme by Hedi Slimane jeans.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT? I really like to travel and meet new worlds.
ARE YOU PART OF THE ZEITGEIST? Yes.
HAVE YOU EVER USED/WOULD YOU EVER USE SEX TO FURTHER YOUR CAREER? I never used it and I won’t use it. Sex is fun.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE? I like to know what I don’t know. I wish we could soon have the possibility to implant something like a hard disk in our body with an USB port so I’d know everything.
WHAT DO YOU HATE? I hate high-handedness and rudeness and lack of respect to people and things.
WHO ARE YOUR INFLUENCES? WHO DO YOU LOOK UP TO? Honestly I learned (and still learn) from people but I don’t want to imitate or look up to anybody.
IF NOT YOU, WHO/WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE? I’m me, I don’t want to be anybody else.
WHAT’S YOUR POISON? Good food, mostly when I have time to cook it.
ARE YOU A BITCH? I don’t like to be and I try to not to be. But I can be a real asshole.
WHAT TURNS YOU ON? Complicity, enthusiasm and new challenges.
SELL YOURSELF IN 10 WORDS: I’m addictive.
WHAT’S UP AND COMING? Easiness in living, respect for people, the world and things. i feel that humanity is going to be fed up of this high-handed contemporary society, as well as in the fashion system: new generations are easier and cooler and they’ll change the rules and break boundaries.
