Davide Cotugno - President
Davide Cotugno was born in Baranello, Italy and was educated in Loughborough, England. Growing up he learned tailoring the traditional way, from his father, Giuseppe who owned a tailor shop that catered to an elite business clientele. Davide joined Hepworth's Tailors of Leeds, England in 1974 winning numerous design, sales & management awards while managing six regional retail outlets throughout the British Isles.
After moving to the United States in 1978, Davide pioneered a new concept in custom clothing by visiting professionals at their businesses or homes to plan out their seasonal wardrobes. His intimate knowledge of both English and Italian styling and fabrics brought a new edge to traditional American clothing.
With the opening his first store in 1997 and subsequent expansion in 2007, Davide's hand picked product lines had a home to be showcased and today is a welcome refuge for executives to relax and enjoy an espresso while selecting unique items that fit their personality.
The experience of living in England and yearly visits to Italy's premier clothing shows such as Pitti Uomo and Idea Bella is reflected in the Davide Cotugno Seasonal Collections that combine classic European styling with a flair.
His clients include Fortune 500 Presidents and CEO's, as well as private business owners including executives in Ohio, Washington DC, New York, Michigan for such diverse companies as: Deloitte, First Energy, Jones Day, Accenture, Pfizer and Merrill Lynch.
