Berlin-based dancer and model Paolo Busti shows our new SMR Days collection in motion SMR Days collections always capture the freedom and colour of summer’s warmest days – endless blue skies and sun-drenched beaches, the feeling of setting off in one place and ending up in another. Expressing the sense of movement at the heart of the brand is the Italy-born, Berlin-based dancer, Paolo Busti. Photographed in the laidback luxury of Ibiza’s Villa Pura Playa, he captures the essence of the collection, showing it in the way it was designed to be worn – in motion. “It gives me peace, calm and happiness,” he says of being by the ocean, the place in the world he feels most free. From walks in Berlin’s forests to returning home to family in the south of Italy, Paolo tells SMR Days where else he goes to escape. Tell us a little bit about your background. How did you get started in dance? My first encounter with dance was when my mum took me to her Latin American dance lessons that she took at the time, I must have been seven years old. I didn’t take it very seriously but the music and atmosphere was kind of fun, and a few years later I decided to go to ballet school. You grew up in Italy. What do you miss about home? The sun, the weather and all my family members around me. How did you end up in Berlin? I did an audition for a theatre in Berlin and got offered the contract. I didn’t choose Berlin and frankly did not like it very much in the beginning. Germans and Italians are very different people! My love for the city grew slowly over the years and now I feel at home and happy to live here. Was it your first time living away from home? I left home when I was 13 years old to study dance in a professional ballet school in Naples, Teatro San Carlo, far away from my small hometown in the south of Italy, so I adapted early to a life by myself. SMR Days is all about travel. What is your favourite place to visit in the world, and why? I don’t have one favourite place, there are so many that I cannot even get started. But of course coming home to Italy always feels the best. Like Paolo’s look? Check out our new arrivals.
