Ennio Capasa was just coming back from Japan, where he had worked for Yohji Yamamoto for two years, completing his training in the fashion world after his studies in the Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan. Once he was back in his native country, Ennio Capasa launched on the Italian catwalks his first women’s collection. It was immediately clear that CoSTUME NATIONAL’s style was characterized by minimalism, simple but precise lines that define a sensual and thin silhouette, perfectly fitting women’s (and later men’s) bodies, exalting every curve and shape. Unique fabrics, refined materials and precious embroidery applied to almost total-black outfits give CoSTUME NATIONAL creations an unmistakable sense of elegance reached mixing past and classical taste with modern and innovative techniques.”
