Jeffrey Costello and Robert Tagliapietra are the dapper duo behind Costello Tagliapietra. Over 30 years of working together they've accomplished something rare - they've continued to look forward and disrupt the fashion supply chain through their businesses Resonance and JCRT, while also looking back to relaunch their collection, Costello Tagliapietra, that preserves the lost art of dressmaking.

I had the privilege of having a conversation with Anna Sui - one of the original independent designers who has conquered every category from ready-to-wear to beauty and fragrance…she’s always been way ahead of her time. But, in spite of the seemingly strategic way her business has unfolded over the past 40 years, she assured me that “there was no master plan”

Malia's journey is, in her words, a testament to the breadcrumbs that create your life path. Her "hell yes" mentality and messages to women are so much bigger than her swimwear line.
