The architecture of contemporary fashion.
Graduating from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts (Milan), in 1982 Ennio Capasa traveled to Japan, where he worked with Yohji Yamamoto, before launching his first prêt-a-porter line for women in 1987, under the label Costume National. In 1993, he launched a mens collection, including everything from perfumes to accessories.
Recognized as a pioneer in new Italian fashion (ultra-modern innovations that stem from the classics), Capasa is famous for the architectural precision he applies to his designs, which include everything from coats to suits, silk jackets, jeans, and casual leatherwear. He has also designed costumes for theater and film, created the concept for his boutiques, and curated several art exhibitions including retrospectives of the work of Louis Bourgeois and Cindy Sherman organized at the Contemporary Art Pavilion in Milan.
