Costello Tagliapietra Spring 2005

[PradaP]

Costello Tagliapietra: It was a superb beginning for Jeffrey Costello, formerly of VPL, and Robert Tagliapietra. They showed their first full-scale collection for Costello Tagliapietra, and one could actually swoon for the simplicity and cut of these Grecian- and Madame Grès-inspired dresses in rayon matte jersey. The fit was perfect (no easy feat in that fabric), and the dresses and few skirts swung gracefully at mid- and below-calf lengths. The drama stayed on top in subtle draping, bare backs and a bevy of beautiful necklines. The best of these: the flared tank dresses with cross-strapped backs or a steel-toned V-neck version. For the last three seasons, the duo has pulled together a few pieces, currently sold at Barneys New York Japan. Safe to say, the designers should pick up a few American accounts this season.

Ok just checked the web site and they are pretty consistant also with their look.
I like it I would just like to them expand on it and make a whole collection, throw some cool trousers in there and some great coats and jackets. I want to them take it to the next level when they get some legs. They're still just starting out so I understand they have to concentrate on what they feel is important first. and what theie budget will allow.

 

[MayaPapaya9]

Yeah I agree, it seems their centerpiece is the drape-y dress and they do it well. I will definitely look out for them in coming seasons.
