Marcelo Burlon — From Argentina to Italy
Where does this widely talented creator come from? Marcelo Burlon was born in Argentina, specifically in the Patagonia region. As a teenager, his family immigrated to Italy, where Burlon grew up and shaped his views on fashion, design, project planning, and music. For two decades he worked in Milan as an event organizer. These were not random events, as his clients included brands such as Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Margiela, and Donatella Versace.
Organizing events for such brands, it is hard not to make many valuable acquaintances. The vibrant personality of Marcelo and his determination in implementing the plans made the event organizer quickly gain many influential friends from the cream of the fashion industry.
No wonder that Marcelo quickly decided to enter the market with his own brand. His first collection was a T-shirt collection, which to this day is a hallmark of his brand. What characterizes this seemingly simple item of clothing?
Underneath the Marcelo Burlon shirts, like other projects, stand out with original graphics, most often placed around the collar. Colorful, graphic, geometric, referring to ethnic patterns or to the wings of multicolored birds — Burlon's graphics are a hallmark of this Milanese brand.
