Born in 1935 and possessing a photographic memory, Costa once said, \"Special occasion dresses have always been my hallmark.\" Costa became the in-house designer for Suzy Perette, a large New York label known for producing line-for-line copies of French haute couture. He designed some of the most beautiful and well constructed evening gowns of the 1980s under his own label. Fabrics used included fine silks, satins, and brocades. During his heyday, Costa’s client list was a \"who’s who\" of society and entertainment stars. His goal was to make all women feel beautiful.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSale Items\/Damaged Items cannot be exchanged, refunded or returned. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eColors may display differently on various devices.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.viva.co.nz\/magazine\/\" title=\"Viva Magazine Volume 6\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eViva Magazine\u003c\/a\u003e Image credit to: Fashion Director, Dan Ahwa Photographer Mara Sommer, Model Tia Harris and Photographers Assistant John Szeto\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Consignment FS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39608339267677,"sku":"FS308","price":379.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0295\/5614\/6269\/products\/20211015_152541_89301df9-734c-4103-8ad5-e5083b9475e5.jpg?v=1638163929","url":"https:\/\/paintedbird.nz\/products\/victor-costa-for-saks-fifth-avenue-dress-designer","provider":"Painted Bird Vintage Boutique \u0026 The Aviary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
