As a first generation Italian-American, born and raised in Fairfield, NJ, his family are made up of many tailors and seamstresses from a small town in Sicily. Having been taught to sew by his Aunt Ida Lasusa, it’s no surprise that his design aesthetic combines classic European tailoring with his own edgy twist. He has spent most of his career living in the fashion capital of the world, NYC. He currently lives in Pelham with his fiance and two children. Kevin draws inspiration from daily life in gotham city and his travels around the world. “I love art, architecture, and people; they inspire me the most!” states Kevin.
