We had the good fortune of connecting with Carlo Nussio and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Carlo, how do you think about risk?
There is no game without risk. For me risk is physiological when you are young, you are more incline to take rash decisions.
Getting out of the comfort zone is the key to growing, that’s what I’m trying to do from day to day, even if it’s not always easy.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I was not born into the fashion world, after high school I studied economics at university. After a master’s degree in tax law in Rome I moved to Milan for work reasons. It was not easy to manage all the constant pressure, now thanks to sport and my passions I have managed to find a balance.
Sport has allowed me to increase my brain-body connection by learning to listen more to what my body (which is the oldest part) is telling me. My passion for vintage has also led me to keep my brain active in other fields and opportunities.
Without this combo, I would probably have broken out by now.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
First of all I would take them to visit my favourite vintage stores in Milan, first of all UnionFade Store (IG: @unionfadestore), then I would take them to eat at my favourite restaurant ‘Il Piccolo’ and last but not least a cocktail at the ‘Duomo 21’ terrace overlooking the Duomo. After this tour I would take them to my gym ‘Ceresio 7’ (IG: @ceresio7gymspa) to work out and then relax in the spa.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Certainly, alone I would not have been able to be where I am now. From a work and personal point of view I have to thank my friend Dario, we have always been shoulder to shoulder in all difficulties; from the point of view of the “vintage ill” my friend Lorenzo Don (IG: @lorenzo_don), always a source of great inspiration.
