Introducing Guest Contributor Chris Del Gatto, Diamond As Big As The Ritz Style

Let other people play at other things. . .the King of Games is still the King of Games.

NYSD's David Patrick Columbia asks, "Who is Chris Del Gatto anyway" and (unthinkable style) he only has nice things to say. The New York Post calls him "a gem of a guy" (what happened to their snarkster style?) and after profiles in WSJ, The New York Times, Whitewall, Interview, and countless other magazines (yeah, most of them were cover style) AND the recent, unprecedented collaboration with the CFDA during NYFW, there's not much we can say about the CEO and Founder of Circa Jewelry. Did we mention he's under 40, cites Steve McQueen as his style icon, and likes horses, jewelry, and fashion? We don't believe he's real, Casper the friendly ghost style. 

In the rare instance InsiderStyle finds itself without words (we're kinda under shock and awe, Desert Storm style) we turn to Chris Del Gatto today and ask him, "How do you define style?"


ON STYLE
by Chris Del Gatto

The people who always leave the greatest impression on me are the ones with an almost natural, or innate elegance. This is not only in the clothing category, but simply in how they live. It almost doesn’t matter who or what they’re wearing; these people rarely follow trends, they just live stylishly. The way they look at life or treat people is done with a thoughtfulness that to me is the epitome of elegance. Whether being asked for advice when you’re not in the mood, or putting an outfit together; there’s a sensibility that’s always there that equates to being elegant. You can be the most beautifully dressed person in the world and not look right when certain things are missing on the inside……
