Ennio Capasa

He is the creator of CoSTUME NATIONAL, the Italian fashion house he founded in 1986 and now an internationally renowned designer label famous for its subtle shapes, dark tones and sartorial detail.

A number of stars have chosen his clothes for tours or red carpet appearances including Mick Jagger, Willem Dafoe, Nicole Kidman, Cameron Diaz, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Jude Law, Scarlett Johansson, Cate Blanchett, Keanu Reeves and Stefania Rocca.

As well as men's and women's ready-to-wear items, lingerie, perfumes and cosmetics (Costume National Scent), 2004 saw the birth of the C'N'C streetwear line for young people, produced and distributed by Itierre Spa.

In 2005 Capasa's passion for powerful motorbikes led him to design a limited series collection of accessories together with Ducati; the following year saw the launch of Black Dogo, an original, ultra-potent machine.

The associated book features details of the working relationships, friendships, photographs and celebrities who espouse the CoSTUME NATIONAL philosophy including Willem Dafoe, Milla Jovovich, Mick Jagger, Hilary Swank, Keith Richards, Lenny Kravitz, Cameron Diaz, Shakira, Madonna.
