About Vincenzo Cuomo
“Everyone has a myth, a point of reference, an example from which to draw inspiration. Mine have always been my father and my grandfather, always in a suit, always in a suit and tie. Hence my passion for elegance and for dressing well.
History
As a kid, after school, I went to the tailor shop to help my father and grandfather. I swept the floors, I ran errands, I worked when I had to work, even on Saturdays and Sundays. That of the tailor is a profession that is learned over time, experiencing tailoring every day, observing those who work.
The job
You learn to use a needle and thimble always doing the same thing, always the same stitch and this puts you to the test. It is a sacrificed profession that you have to love, and love has sprung up in me. With many difficulties, I slowly discovered that I love this profession.
Ideas
Each person has their own mind, their own ideas, I learned from my father and grandfather, but then when I felt ready, I was able to develop my personal taste, my style. So, making changes to my father's model, I added my own, starting to make "my" jackets.
Style
I have never wanted to “brand” my garments with obvious identification symbols or signs. I'm glad if a person in the trade understands that "that" is my jacket, my line, my style.
I have my idea of a jacket, but it's something you don't notice if you're not in the trade.
My priority has always been for the jacket to simply stand out because it fits well and makes the wearer feel good.”
