From Francesca Chillemi to Can Yaman, passing through Oriana Sabatini and Barbara Foria, there will be many guests in Silvia Toffanin's living room. Among these is also Federico Fashion Style, in the studio to talk about the serious assault he recently suffered. Verissimo, the weekend guests (Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 April): from Can Yaman to Carlotta Ferlito, but also Federico Fashion Style and Oriana Sabatini. Federico Fashion Style, who is he? Born in Anzio (Rome) on October 5, 1989, Federico Fashion Style - real name Federico Lauri - is 34 years old. Among the most famous hair stylists in Italy, he started his hairdressing career at the age of 13, when, after dropping out of school, he decided to work in a friend of his father's salon, Paolo Biddeci. At 18, he decided to go into business for himself, opening his first shops in Anzio, Milan, and then in Sardinia. Thanks to the great success achieved on social media, since 2019 he has been hosting the show 'Il salone delle meraviglie' on Real Time, while in 2021 he participated in 'Dancing with the Stars', paired with Anastasija Kuz'mina. Also in 2021, he hosted 'Beauty Bus' on Discovery+. In 2022, he was a commentator on the show 'La pupa e il secchione', hosted by Barbara D'Urso. The relationship with Letizia Porcu After 17 years together with his partner Letizia Porcu, with whom he also had a daughter through assisted insemination, Sophie Maelle, in 2022 Federico Fashion Style announced their separation. The coming out Last October, during an episode of 'Belve', Federico Fashion Style confessed to being homosexual, however, he emphasized that the feeling he had for his former partner for years was real and his relationship was not the result of fiction: 'I believe Letizia always knew I was homosexual. I don't think if her husband comes home dressed in sequins a woman doesn't ask herself a question, maybe there's something that doesn't add up, something that doesn't fit... but maybe she was fine with it too'. On discovering his homosexuality, the hair stylist then said: 'Homosexuals are born that way - he says - maybe already when I was little I felt different from others, because I loved doing girls' hair while others played boys' games'. Federico Fashion Style confesses to Belve: 'My wife always knew I was gay. Maybe she was fine with it too'. Obesity The hairdresser suffered from eating disorders during adolescence. This topic was also addressed during the interview with Francesca Fagnani on Belve: 'I weighed about 110 kg. I was small and hid inside myself by eating, it was my only outlet'. Over the years, he then underwent a drastic diet that made him lose many kilos, so much so that last year he decided to undergo cosmetic surgery to remove the excess skin. After losing several kilos, he indeed had excess skin on his abdomen, which had not managed to reshape after the weight loss. The daughter Also on Belve, Federico Fashion Style talked about his strained and complicated relationship with his daughter: 'It's not that I don't see her, I see her, in my opinion, too little'. And to Fagnani's question about what kind of father he is to his daughter, Federico added: 'For me, that girl is my reason for life, I believe there is nothing more than her. I am a special father, I can be a father, I can be a mother, I can be her best friend. I am everything for her, I live for her'. The disease Federico Fashion Style suffers from varicocele, one of the most common diseases of the male reproductive system. The pathology can cause fertility problems in a certain percentage of patients, which is why he and his partner conceived their daughter through artificial insemination. The assault Just a week ago, Federico Fashion Style was the protagonist of an unpleasant episode while on a train, later recounted on social media: 'Slapped and punched in the face on an Italo train in front of everyone. Being insulted and attacked for sexual orientation is shameful! It is shameful that in 2024 all this still happens. There are still shitty homophobes and still, shitty faggot is said'. After thanking the fans for their closeness shown, Federico Fashion Style then made an appeal: 'Please stop calling people faggot. Homosexuality is not a disease'. Federico Fashion Style attacked on the train: 'Punch and slaps in the face, there are still those who say shitty faggot'.
