Editorial Review for Costume National – by Kim Cooper

In Short
Milan's Ennio Capasa abandoned bulky lines in the 1980s, ripping out shoulder pads and jacket linings in favor of a slim, mod City Suit silhouette that's become the uniform of fit young male Hollywood. In his spacious showroom on the designer's end of Melrose, fans rave over Capasa's unique crumple-look metallic wools, sleek pencil skirts with discrete pucker hems for easy strolling, hand-dyed leather coats and the personalized attention that makes RTW feel like runway.
