Fashionistas of the past will fondly remember Masons, which was one of the leading fashion houses in Melbourne through the sixties and seventies. One of its principals was Piero Gesualdi, architect, fashion designer, interior designer and café owner who brought much of his modernist aesthetic to Rosati’s, the café he established in Flinders Lane. Here he talks about his long and varied career, the creative flame, and his latest innovative venture - turning one of Melbourne’s electricity substations into an underground bar.

Rerun: Piero Gesualdi, Architect, Fashion Designer and Interior Designer

Yep, our guest this week is Piero Paolo Gesualdi from Mondopiero in Brunswick Street Fitzroy. Take one step through the double doors of this double story building and you are submerged in a mix of design and detail. Make no mistake you have set foot into Piero's World, and it does not disappoint!  Mondopiero evokes the surroundings of a lifetime dedicated to the appreciation and creation of beautiful things; showcasing craftsmanship, artisanal skill, design and the whisper of a refined sense of taste.  I can't think of anyone else in the Melbourne design scene as interesting as Piero. He has done it all, from owning restaurants and clubs to importing and owning fashion labels, not to mention he is an architect! He really is an entrepreneur, a super stylish Italian entrepreneur! In this wide-ranging conversation, Piero explains why he left architecture at RMIT to go to India and we find out how Piero managed to be the first person to introduce cutting-edge international luxury fashion labels such as Jean-Paul Gaultier, Giorgio Armani, Kenzo and Comme de Garçons into the Australian market.
