In His Own Words: It-Boy Marco Ferri

Marco Ferri is what we would call an all-round It-Boy: He's a model, a social media influencer and a TV personality, having been featured in over 20 shows around the world. Currently, he has over 950000 followers on Instagram alone and is embarking on a new project on Italian television. In this InCompany by Attire Club interview, he discusses his favorite brands, his career and hobbies. What can you tell us about your background?

Marco Ferri: I was born and raised in Italy. I graduated in marketing when I was 23 and from then I started traveling the world, working as a TV host, model and web influencer. I lived in London, Miami, Santiago de Chile, Madrid and currently I'm based in Milan, back in Italy.

How did you become a model?

MF: I wouldn't define myself as a model. I've been working with fashion brands promoting them on my social platforms. Being a web influencer is much more an entrepreneurial job than being just a model. Promoting brands on my socials requires the choice of a good photographer (available in town), a nice location, an eye-catching look, posing skills and loads of good taste regarding the post-editing part. And I do it all myself.

Do you have any favorite brands or designers you follow?

MF: One of my favorite brands is Dsquared2 on the ready-to-wear side. I'm used to wearing bespoke suit and tailor-made shirts. I love Santoni and Louboutin concerning footwear.

What is your personal approach to style?

MF: My style is a combination between my own interpretation of fashion and an expression of my current feelings or just of my daily mood.

How did you enter the entertainment and TV field?

MF: Pure accident. I used to date a girl that was pretty popular in Chile. An important local TV channel contacted me asking if I were up to try an experience in a reality show. Finally, I said yes and that was the start of a long journey in the entertainment field.

What are you currently obsessed with, fashion- and otherwise?

MF: Uff. I would say fashion, soccer, wakeboarding and new adventures in general.

What projects are you working on now? What do you want to do in the future?

MF: I'm currently working on a project concerning a cooking TV show which I will be hosting. I'll keep you updated!

Thank you!
