Costello Tagliapietra Fall 2011: The First Time We Met

Ah love is in the air…actually love was the source of inspiration in this collection as Jeffrey Costello and Robert Tagliapietra of Costello Tagliapietra tapped into the first time they met in New York nearly 20 years ago.

It was the 90’s done right with figure-flattering seperates and v-neck dresses in mint green, stunning vermillions and bright copper. Costello Tagliapietra continued experimenting with AirDye techniques (an eco-friendly process that dyes fabric without water) this season that proved a success particularly with the red copper drape blouse (that was paired with the oil slick jersey skirt) and the saffron yellow folded gown (which was the show closer).

Affectionately known as “lumberjack designers, ” for always sporting plaid shirts, this adorable duo knocked it out of the park with this diverse collection.
