The woman
who wears one of fashion designer John Daina-Palermo’s designs
would be savvy, intelligent and truly appreciate the intricate detail
and stunning fabrics of each and every one of his designs, whether
she’s an artist or an architect. His customer is a lover of
fine luxury, which makes Palermo a true artist of his craft.
John Daina-Palermo studied design at the School
of the Art Institute of Chicago. One of his biggest influences in
fashion design is none other than fashion designer Issey Miyake.
“I’ve always liked his work. It’s a true progression
of things – always evolving shape and the ascetics are just
incredible,” says Palermo.
Many people are seduced by the details that Palermo
uses. It’s those details and that motivation to work on interesting
silhouettes and shape, including details in pleating and taking
a flat shape and manipulating it in some way to have a less expensive
fabric look rich in design and detail. When it comes to his designs,
being detail-oriented is at the top of his list.
