As a child in Ravenna, Italy, Marchetti lived in a small apartment with three family members, excelled academically and sold Mickey Mouse comics by the beachside. With fashion weeks taking over global capitals such as NYC, London, Milan and Paris, Marchetti released his best-seller, titled “The Geek of Chic: An American Dream Italian Style,” in the U.S on Sept. 9. Marchetti: No, I think the American dream will always be the American dream for everybody in the new generation because of what can happen in America. Marchetti: I started from the “Italian Style” because I’m Italian and it’s been an unexpected best-seller in Italy. At this point, the “American Dream Italian Style” is accomplished.
