About Giuseppe di Morabito
Giuseppe Di Morabito launched his eponymous fashion label in 2014, focusing on women’s wear inspired by classical art and the cultural heritage of Calabria, his homeland in southern Italy. His designs feature feminine, alluring silhouettes with precise tailoring, hidden corsets, crinolines, and glamorous embellishments like shimmering crystals that add drama and opulence. The brand draws inspiration from classical works of art—by Caravaggio, Artemisia Gentileschi, and Canova—and the iconography of Venus, reinterpreted through a modern lens and contemporary sensibility. His seductive designs pay homage to the divine power and beauty of femininity, elevating grace and strength through sculptural forms and flowing drapery.
The label gained early recognition through competitions like “Who Is On Next?” and the International Woolmark Prize, which helped establish its reputation. In 2023, the brand received significant investment from Style Capital and Paoloni, enabling commercial expansion. It now boasts partnerships with prestigious global retailers and online platforms, including Harrods, Selfridges, Mytheresa, and Printemps. Giuseppe Di Morabito’s bold, sensual designs have been cherished by celebrities such as Zendaya, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Cher, Kate Hudson, and Olivia Wilde, further elevating the brand’s profile in the luxury fashion industry.

About Printemps New York
Created in 1865 by Jules Jaluzot with the help of his wife Augustine, Printemps is a very French success story. The incredible adventure of a department store selling new and innovative products, located in a run-down district that was to become an empire, the temple of fashion immortalized since its creation in 1865. As soon as it opened to the public, Printemps made its mark as the most modern department store in Paris.
Continuing its reinvention and acceleration, celebrated French luxury department store, Printemps, opens their new Shopping Experience located at 1 Wall Street in the heart of the City. Printemps New York is located in the historic, 50-story landmark building, One Wall Street. As the next chapter of its brand transformation, this Printemps concept offers a unique experience, blending a local touch with effortless shopping both in-store and online.
