CoSTUME NATIONAL creative director Ennio Capasa embraced a retro nostalgia for fall, infusing his latest collection with a splash of color and pinch of glam. Always resonating with a sense of cool, Capasa opened the show with two key pieces for the season at large–leather pants and an oversized shearling coat. From there, it was all about image.
Crafting a bold visual, tailored suits were paraded out in fearless hues that brought to a mind the sleek figure of David Bowie in the 1980s. Intersected by a touch of glam, the collection transitioned from cigarette pants and relaxed dress shirts to velvet waistcoats and trousers, embellished with glitter. Adding to the lineup, draped tops, bedazzled jackets and ankle boots solidified CoSTUME NATIONAL’s long withstanding fascination with the rock aesthetic.
