Peter Zottolo – The Self Portrait

20 for 20 Look No. 11 – Dormeuil Celebration

 

 

Michael Andrews Bespoke’s twentieth-anniversary lookbook with Dormeuil pairs twenty members of the MAB community with twenty cloths pulled from the mill’s archive. Look No. 11 belongs to Peter Zottolo, dressed in a custom suit featuring Dormeuil Celebration.

Peter Zottolo is a union electrician with IBEW Local 6 in San Francisco, where he’s helped build train stations, skyscrapers, airports, and residences. Outside of that, he co-hosts the Die, Workwear! podcast with Derek Guy and serves as U.S. editor for Plaza Uomo. He also runs Urban Composition, a photography practice covering fashion shows, brand campaigns, performances, and street style.

Menswear has no shortage of rules, opinions, and self-appointed experts.

Peter Zottolo has spent years immersed in the world of classic style as a writer, editor, podcaster, and one of its most thoughtful voices. Yet what makes him particularly compelling is not how seriously he takes clothing, but how seriously he refuses to take himself.

Clothed in a bold paisley velvet dinner jacket from Dormeuil’s Celebration collection, Peter reminds us that elegance and enjoyment are not opposing ideas. The best-dressed people rarely treat style as a performance. They treat it as a form of self-expression.

Surrounded by mirrors, these self-portraits offer a fitting reminder that great style begins with self-awareness—but it should also leave room for a sense of humor.

After all, if you can’t have a little fun, what’s the point?
