The Peak has met many stylish men, but none with as extensive a wardrobe as Marco Ficarelli. Since 2014, the Italian chief revenue officer of Orveon Global, which owns premium cosmetics brands BareMinerals, Laura Mercier, and Buxom, has been based in Singapore, where he clearly has built up a formidable sartorial arsenal.
He has over 50 bespoke summer jackets in his wardrobe at home, and a much larger collection in an air-conditioned warehouse in Toa Payoh. He also owns more than a thousand tailored shirts, over 400 pairs of shoes, and drawers of accessories, ranging from ties and pockets squares to cufflinks and lapel pins. Somehow, there is also space for his scarves, hats and watches. This vast and growing collection is also constantly being curated: Ficarelli gifts certain pieces to relatives, while archiving timeless classics and items of sentimental value.
Ficarelli cuts a striking figure with his toned physique, salt-and-pepper hair, and a ready and radiant smile. Rather than a way to stand out, dressing up is his way of expressing himself.
