COSTELLO TAGLIAPIETRA

The romance of the future and the primitive. Costello Tagliapietra was born out of a mutual obsession for the artisanal traditions of dressmaking and tailoring. Leaning heavily into the designers’ worlds of craft where they learned as children, couture techniques in pattern making, construction and how to design the perfect fitting garment from their grandmothers (both of whom coincidentally worked for Norman Norell in the 1960’s).

The Costello Tagliapietra collection, beautiful both inside and out, is masterfully finished and expertly tailored with gussets, bound edges traced with vintage lace trims and French seams. Empowering and romantic at the same time through its play with the tension between fabric, drape and silhouette. Approaching fabrics from their most core values, then rethinking and repurposing their uses. Jerseys are treated as woven and woven are draped like jerseys, giving each fabric new life and surprise to the wearer.

They are multiple time CFDA Fashion Fund Finalists and the winners of the CFDA/Lexus Award as well as the Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation Award.

The late Andre Leon Talley referred to Costello Tagliapietra as the last great American dressmakers and they proudly continue tradition into the future.
