Designer Name: Casey Sagisi

Line: C. Vincent Stitch

Branding Statement/ Bio info:

I am a custom clothier who believes in the power of the perfect fit, the statement of exquisite design, and the longevity of local craftsmanship.

Pictured is my label's debut line that premiered at the New York Fashion Academy's Annual Fashion Show on April 9, 2011, entitled "Shade". The line was developed specifically for a local dance crew, The House of Charlatan, whose members also modeled at the debut. Each piece was custom-made for the models, and emphasized their unique movement styles through impeccable fit and garment selection.

From the tailored piece that integrates seamlessly into your collection to your next spectacular costume, I seek to fulfill the needs of your individuality through respectful business practices and endless creativity.

Clothing is not carried in shops and I have sold less than $2k in merchandise in the past two years.

All designs are original and patterns can be furnished for verification.

I am dedicated to creating custom, artisanal pieces for both women and men. Prices vary based on the client's needs and desires however, your purchase is guaranteed to be constructed here in the C. Vincent Stitch atelier from quality materials. I am also open to offering design services to vendors who share my commitment to offer locally produced, well-crafted garments.
