Buon Compleanno Costume National! The Italian house turns 21 this year, and to honor “the age of maturity,” CN head honcho Ennio Capasa whipped up a book with Assouline which features two decades of Capasa’s architectural innovations (shown on lean-limbed VIPS, che brava) as well as the designer’s own fashion photographs. Capasa feted the b-day book earlier this week at Costume National’s Soho store, which drew sartorial connoisseurs including William Dafoe, Max Minghella, and Alan Cumming. If you missed the fete—which was DJ’d by tireless industry darlings the MisShapes—take heart: The celebratory tome can be found in select bookstores (um, like Amazon ) and at Costume National stores worldwide.
