Love in An Elevator: Costume National S/S2010

Hailing from the heel of Italy's boot - the town of Lecce - Ennio Capasa was raised on fashion. Capasa's parents were proprietors of several upscale boutiques that provided Italy's Elite with season-less couture. As a child, the designer despised fashion, but the allure of design lead him to enroll in the Milan Academy of Fine Arts in 1982. As the founder of Costume National, Capasa has embraced his fashion beginnings and today designs clothes that straddle the line between everyday wear and on-the-town elegance.
Costume National tends to focus on the hips, neck, and shoulders. It's classic cosmo style combined with urban colors working in tandem with glossy and matte accents.
His clothing has been described as "second-skin" and close-to-the body without simply being tight. Capasa now owns the main brand of street couture, Costume National, Costume National Homme for men, and the more affordable C’N’C Costume National for a younger clientele.
It is of little wonder that some of the greatest stars of the world of music and cinema like Mick Jagger, Jovanotti, Beyonce’, Nicole Kidman, Cameron Diaz, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Jude Law, Scarlet Johansson, Cate Blanchett, Keanu Reeves and Stefania Rocca have chosen Capasa for red carpet appearances or tour costumes.
