September 20th – THE OK GO! WEAR CoSTUME NATIONAL MADE SUITS ON THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO

Ennio Capasa created four costume made suits for the OK GO! that
interpret the CoSTUME NATIONAL spirit with a unique attitude

CoSTUME NATIONAL announces the opening of its Hong Kong Installation Space a new flagship store in the heart of Honk Kong fashion district. Installation Space is a concept far from ordinary: the idea is to create something different, more than a simple shopping experience.
Maestro of essential design Ennio Capasa has created an unusual approach to fashion buying, a strong combination of academic architecture and technology, traditional materials and conceptual frameworks: white veined marble floor, white plasterboard walls, chrome hanging rails, art gallery technical lights.
 

Ennio Capasa went to the Maison archives and picked up himself a selection of iconic pieces, now displayed as an installation artwork.
The clients of CoSTUME NATIONAL Installation Space will experience the timeless product brand philosophy and will be assisted in buying as a contemporary fashion collector.
Exploring the style, reading the history, understanding the research, feeling the modern: the client buys a unique product, every time.

The project starts exhibiting the fall-winter 2010/2011 man and woman Collections.

Textile Storm is the concept of the installation designed by Claudio La Viola for “Abitare il Tempo 2010”, one of the most important Italian event dedicated to design.
With an original and scenographic language, La Viola presents a project that combines design and fashion and plunges the visitor into a virtual storm.
At the centre of the installation there is a wall, 5 meters high and 18 long, covered with umbrellas that turn on themselves asynchronously; in the background the noise of the storm “ripped” from the Divine voice of Maria Callas.
 

Two silent and parallel corridors surround the installation and guide the visitors through the proposals of “Editori Tessili di Aneta”. Passing huge portals, precious windows-room guard 15 trenches designed exclusively by Ennio Capasa and made with fabrics usually used for furniture.
Ennio Capasa has made available his experience and passion for fashion for “Abitare il Tempo”, an important and ambitious project witnessed for 25 years of Italian excellence in furnishings.
