Victor Costa is known as the “King of Copycats” and wears the badge proudly. “The word ‘fashion’ would not exist if there were no copying,” he says. How true, how true. And while the designers he copies may not always be too happy with his talents, his attention to detail and his ability to rework the latest runway and red carpet trends makes him a favorite among vintage fashionistas. Three generations of Victor Costa customers still clamor for his special occasion dresses, the hallmark of his business. And while not all these dresses are replicas, it’s easy to see the hallmarks of the current fashion season in his work. Now just click to see this little collection of vintage Victor Costa frocks and you’re sure to become a Victor Costa fan too.
