Italian Style conquers Russia

If you’re a fan of Angelo Galasso and find yourself in Moscow, then this will make your day. The designer has set up shop in the theatre district of Moscow. With antiques, custom made furniture, books and an impressive view of the fashion district, this is going to be a hot destination for anyone looking for a perfectly tailored suit.

Departures Dispatch Angelo Galasso opens in New York’s Plaza Hotel When the Plaza’s grand, ornate Edwardian Room opens its doors this week for the first time since the 1990s, the space will be - in a sense -coming full circle. Originally opened in 1907 as a gentlemen’s café, the 3,800 square-foot room, with its paneled oak wainscoting, elaborately trussed ceiling and expansive comer views over Central Park and Fifth Avenue, has reinvented itself several times. Only now, though, is the space returning to its roots as a particular lure for men. Its new incarnation: the debut U.S. flagship of luxury menswear designer Angelo Galasso. Galasso’s bold ready-to-wear collections - which employ exotic skins, vivid colors and prints and signature details like hexagonal shirt buttons - might not at first seem the most obvious choice for the formal Spanish Renaissance Revival space (a top hat and cutaway coat might seem more at home). But as celebrity fans like Al Pacino, David Beckham and Jay-Z know, Galasso’s dramatic style is matched with a bespoke designer’s attention to craftsmanship and detail. Every item in the new boutique - including ready-to-wear jackets, shirts, suits, belts, watches and even underwear - can be customized to order by Galasso’s cadre of on-site tailors. Of course, made-to-measure designs can take a few weeks to complete, since all of Galasso’s fabrics, materials and assemblage - like the retail shop’s couches, tables, rugs and even racks - are “Fatto in Italia” (made in Italy).

Only now, though, is the space returning to its roots as a particular lure for men. Its new incarnation: the debut U.S. flagship of luxury menswear designer Angelo Galasso.

Galasso’s bold ready-to-wear collections - which employ exotic skins, vivid colors and prints and signature details like hexagonal shirt buttons - might not at first seem the most obvious choice for the formal Spanish Renaissance Revival space (a top hat and cutaway coat might seem more at home).

Time Out Angelo Galasso: Time Out says This Italian couture men’s designer has opened his first U.S. boutique in the landmark Edwardian Room of the Plaza Hotel. The elegant space reflects its former glory as an early-20th-century men-only cafe with its original, intricately painted wood ceilings and opulent chandeliers. The luxe menswear ($300 - $65,000) is housed in lacquered wood, glass and velvet display cases. All the products in the shop are handmade in Italy and can be custom-made to your choice of cut, fabric, color and monogramming. Splurge on alligator and crocodile briefcases ($10,000), monogrammed leather loafers ($1,000 - $2,000), and wool, silk or linen suits ($3,500 - $7,000). Finish off your dapper new look with silk and cotton ties ($300 - $500), or go casual in leather-and-metal-detailed jeans ($1,000).
