Irish-born designer Paul Costelloe burst into the fashion scene over two decades ago and
he shows no signs of slowing down.
For over 20 years, the designer has built a loyal client base and continues to fascinate the
fashion scene with his impeccable tailoring.
Trained in Paris, Paul Costelloe honed his skills in London, Milan and New York.
He is well-known for creating luxurious modern classics and his fans consider his creations
a staple for every woman's wardrobe.
His sophisticated separates and knits fashioned in the finest quality of linens, cottons
and tweeds for daywear, combined with the understated elegance and luxury of his eveningwear,
Paul Costelloe's collections transcends seasons.
For Spring 2001, Paul Costelloe goes back to his Parisian roots with a "Parisian
Afternoon" as the theme of his collection.
Very continental Europe styling, with structured clothing, with splashes of fur, the collection
is made up of very subdued colors ranging from white to maroon to olive.
Tailored and structured cuts dominated with some fluidity added via the furs.
Lots of scarves and hats intermingled with the presentation.
