[edit] Biography
Known as "the Givenchy of Rome" Capucci was born in Rome in 1929. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. His first job was with the designer Emilio Schuberth. In 1950, he established his own fashion house. Creating unusual, sculpted dresses in original materials, Capucci bewitched the fashion world and has, since his debut, been featured in shows representing most talented and renowned designers. He opened a couture salon in Paris in 1962, but later returned to Rome, re-establishing himself in the via Gregoriana.
He withdrew from the formal fashion world in 1980, preferring to present a single collection each year in a different city.[2] He did this from 1982–1996.
He has also designed uniforms for the staff of Jet Airways,[3] India's biggest airline.
