Massimo Caronna is the owner IMC Group, one of New York's leading distributors of Italian luxury brands. Massimo is one of "those" Italians, born with a natural panache for great style. He has already built a successful American business with top tier retailers for Brunello Cucinelli, and is currently working his magic on newer Italian brands like P Zero for Pirelli, Boglioli, Coat, and Roda. Trust me, you will be seeing more about these brands soon on The Sartorialist. Massimo will also be deeply involved with Michael Bastian's (former Fashion Director Bergdorf Men's) recently announced men's collection. The Sartorialist asked Massimo about his personal style.
