Domenico Vacca Launches Domenico Vacca Denim

Designer-to-the-stars brings luxury to the denim market

NEW YORK, May 11, 2010—Domenico Vacca, known as the official clothier of the red carpet with clients ranging from Fabulous to Al Pacino, is set to bring his tailor made aesthetic to the world of high end denim.

Domenico Vacca has entered into a partnership with Koon Enterprises LLC to design, produce and distribute Domenico Vacca Denim worldwide. “We are very excited about the launch of Domenico Vacca Denim. We are bringing our sartorial experience to the denim world to create the ultimate luxury denim brand,” says Mr. Vacca.

The elements of luxury synonymous with the Domenico Vacca brand are carried over into the design of the denim collection. Jeans are made with Italian Candiani selvedge denim and lined with the same fine fabrics used to craft Domenico Vacca’s highly coveted dress shirts. As with the main collection, the hand is mightier than the needle. Domenico Vacca Denim employs a hand construction system from the wash to the destruction and abrasions of each jean.

Domenico Vacca Denim will launch its Men’s collection this Fall 2010 with Women’s styles to follow in Spring 2011. Both collections will be distributed to premium department stores, better specialty retailers, and at Domenico Vacca boutiques worldwide.

Introducing Domenico Vacca Limited Edition

If you like to be unique and you love formalwear, then this next press release is for you!

“Domenico Vacca is proud to introduce his ‘Domenico Vacca Limited Edition’ collection for Men. The collection includes men’s jackets and suits and will soon also include a women’s collection of limited numbered items.

Domenico Vacca’s ‘Limited Edition’ collection is entirely sewn ...by hand. ‘We wanted to compete with ourselves and to confirm our leadership in the handmade luxury market,’ Domenico Vacca says.

‘While our competitors have cut down substantially in the hand work in their garments, we have increased it. We have positioned ourselves at the very top of the handmade world.’

Domenico Vacca adds, ‘There is no other company that makes a more handmade garment than us.’ Everything in the ‘Domenico Vacca Limited Edition’ collection is hand sewn besides the two lateral seams and the sleeve seams just because of strength purposes. These seams are still folded and top stitched by hand. As for the rest of the garment, it is all hand sewn inside out.

The decision to call the new label ‘Domenico Vacca Limited Edition’ and numbering every garment one by one comes from the notion that every piece is truly a work of art. Many companies have been playing around with the ‘limited edition’ concept while still making hundreds of pieces.

Mr. Vacca has always made limited edition pieces but his ‘Domenico Vacca Limited Edition’ collection goes from 3 garments to a maximum of 18 garments worldwide for each fabric and style.

‘This is the essence of exclusivity,’ says Mr. Vacca. ‘To wear something that only few other people have in the world is a symbol of that exclusivity.’ Every garment is numbered in his ‘Limited Edition’ collection and is a true masterpiece in terms of craftsmanship, fabric, style and rarity.

The ‘Domenico Vacca Limited Edition’ collection is also available in bespoke where every garment is labeled 1/1.

‘It is our goal to keep giving our clients the best product in the market and the best value at a time where our clients are becoming more educated and price conscious,’ says Mr. Vacca. ‘We wanted to keep making the ‘Ferrari of Clothing’ with passion and pride.’”

Domenico Vacca, Al Pacino & “Son of No One”

Domenico Vacca has dressed an entourage of Hollywood actors and stars since launching his label eight years ago.

Collaborating with renowned costume designers, he has created the wardrobe of leading roles in films like “the Inside Man,” “Stranger than Fiction,” “American Gangster,” and more.

No wonder, Domenico Vacca has became the Oscar designer of choice on several occasions.

Carrying on the sartorial tradition, Domenico Vacca will be dressing Al Pacino, a detective, in the new movie “Son of No One” directed by Dito Montiel.

Planned for release in 2011, the film deals with a cop who, working in a precinct where he grew up, must confront an old secret that could destroy his life.

Domenico Vacca comes from a line of talented stylists: his grandmother was recognized as one of the finest in Southern Italy.

In 2002, Domenico and his wife Julie launched what many consider “the Ferrari of Italian Fashion.”

A Return to Luxury & Quality by Domenico Vacca

Domenico Vacca was born in Andria of the Puglia region in southern Italy.

As a small but ancient town, for the past 1,000 years Andria has passed through the hands of numerous empires: from Normans to Angevines, Germans to Hungarians, Aragonese to Spanish, and, finally, from the Bourbons to a united Italy.

Inheriting rich traditions from previous generations, Domenico’s grandmother operated her own fashion house in Andria with over 50 seamstresses.

No wonder, Domenico grew up to appreciate the importance of sartorial elegance and luxurious couture, even from an early age!
After studying Law in Italy, later obtaining a Masters in Law from New York University, Domenico practiced law for 10 years with a leading international law firm called Baker & Mackenzie, representing over two-thirds the Italian fashion companies that did business in the US.

After founding Italia magazine in 1994, Domenico finally launched his own clothing label in 2002. Together with his wife Julie, Domenico has combined Italian craftsmanship with over 2,000 types of superb fabrics, becoming known as the “Ferrari of clothing industry.”

In a mere 4 years after his launch, Domenico opened six stores throughout Russia, Qatar, the US, the UK, and Italy, whereby magnificent collections are hand sown by 100 master tailors and 250 seamstresses in Naples, Italy.

Domenico Vacca—a man who not only inherited the tradition of luxury but also knows the value of quality.
