Stellantis COO Named In 2023 “Detroit’s Best Dressed” List

Mark Stewart, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Stellantis North America, has once again captured attention beyond the automotive realm, earning a coveted spot on the 2023 Detroit’s Best Dressed List curated by Hour Detroit. Known for his strategic prowess within the automotive industry, Stewart’s unique flair for fashion has been acknowledged, solidifying his presence as a style icon in the Motor City.

Stewart, who assumed the role of COO in 2018 during the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) era, has been making waves not only with his operational acumen but also for his distinctive sense of style that seamlessly merges various elements. His recent recognition for his sartorial choices adds another facet to his multifaceted persona.

Renowned for his eclectic taste and penchant for blending diverse fashion genres, Stewart and his husband, Tony coined his style as the “Markini style.” Embracing a mix of eclectic chic, haute couture, and retro elements, he espouses a philosophy of fashion freedom that transcends boundaries. “It’s a little bit of everything — sometimes a lot of everything — from eclectic chic to a little haute couture to retro,” Stewart revealed in an interview with Hour Detroit.

The recent acquisition of the Fisher Mansion, marking the largest home sale in Detroit at $4.9 million, further spotlighted Stewart’s presence in the city. However, it’s not just real estate ventures that have placed him in the spotlight; it’s his fashion flair that’s turning heads.

Stewart’s taste in fashion is as diverse as his responsibilities within Stellantis. He cites Alexander McQueen, Versace, and Gucci among his favorite designers, acknowledging the challenge of finding pieces that resonate with his 6-feet, 3-inch frame. Nevertheless, this challenge hasn’t hindered him from curating a wardrobe that reflects his vibrant personality and bold fashion choices.

In an exclusive excerpt from his interview with Hour Detroit, Stewart shared his advice for fashion enthusiasts: “You can have so much fun with fashion. Be unique; find your own style. You don’t need to break your bank. I love to mix new and vintage to create my own fashion style. I like to mix and match pieces. No boring suits. I am not afraid of going a little bright and shiny and wearing it with pride and confidence.”

Moreover, Stewart champions the idea that fashion isn’t confined to gender norms. He encourages men to explore beyond traditional attire and embrace a broader spectrum of styles, emphasizing the significance of confidence in carrying off any outfit with flair.
