Costume National Mens - Fall/Winter 2004

Ennio Capasa indicated that he was inspired by the urban Samurai for fall 2004. Ensconced in padded protective gear, this warrior is a long way from the rock ‘n roll dandy, Capasa usually sends down the catwalk.

Costume National Mens - Fall/Winter 2002

Designer Ennio Capasa feels that the public is looking for romance in its fashion. In a finely tuned balancing act between formality and eccentricity, this winter collection was at once soft and masculine. The color palette was warm nudes, browns and blacks, the cuts loose, crumpled and asymmetrical. Taking his inspiration from the attitude of painters like Basquiat and Schnabel, Capasa was catering to the poet in the modern man.
