Costello Tagliapietra F15 (12)NEW YORK, Feb 19, 2015/ — Mining their own archives, designers Jeffrey Costello and Robert Tagliapietra strengthened their signature looks and the brand’s DNA for Fall 2015.

Inspired by the woods and its magical atmosphere, the collection, which was unveiled on Thursday, February 12th reinterpreted Costello Tagliapietra’s own designs.

The colors, smells and sounds of forested trails became the basis for the plaids and earthen shades presented in tailored silhouettes that are smart and crisp. Using plaids as the basic motif, the designers built up layers of color grids.

The show also featured a customized scent by MiN New York which debuted in their show space at Lincoln Center.

“As Designers and Artists of Olfaction, we create fragrances to inspire or provoke,” stated Chad Murawczyk, CEO & Founder of MiN New York. “In this way, a perfume becomes alive. It’s magical, meaningful, emotional… integrated with your memory and becomes deeply experienced.”
