Mamma Milano: Lessons from the Motherland (Vendome Press) is the first book from J.J. Martin, a Los Angeles-born editor turned entrepreneur and founder of Milanese lifestyle brand LaDoubleJ. Equal parts memoir, design journal, travel guide, and business-building blueprint, the book delves into J.J.’s initial resistance and ultimate surrender to the magic of Italy and the deepening of her spiritual practice that followed, unleashing creativity.

Join J.J. in conversation with Gianluca Longo, Style Director of The World of Interiors for a colourful exploration of her career and inspirations, followed by wine reception and book signing.
