About James Coviello

James Coviello grew up in Fairfield Conn. After graduating high school, Coviello moved to NYC to attend Parsons School of Design.

In 1987, James left Parsons to design jewelry for Erickson Beamon. He designed press and collection samples, which appeared in numerous fashion magazines. At this time, Coviello established the James Coviello hat collection. From the first season, the line was carried by specialty and department stores across the country, including Barneys, Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdales, and Neiman Marcus. Within 2 years, he was also making hats for runway shows for many 7th Avenue designers, such as Oscar de la Renta, Geoffrey Beene, Calvin Klein, and Todd Oldham.

In 1991, James met Anna Sui. Sui, who was styling a shoot with Steven Meisel for Italian Vogue, requested a hat. Soon after, Sui asked Coviello to design hats and knitwear for her first runway show. The next season, Sui created the James Coviello for Anna Sui label. Today this successful collaboration still flourishes.

In 2000, Coviello presented his first runway show. The James Coviello Collection, now a full ready-to-wear collection, includes knitwear, wovens, and accessories. Today Coviello designs several collections a year, and sells to specialty boutiques and department stores throughout the world.

In 2003, Itokin Co. Ltd., the licensee for the James Coviello Collection in Japan and China, opened 2 free standing James Coviello boutiques, one in Tokyo and one in Osaka. Several James Coviello shop-in-shops and free-standing stores are now open throughout Japan.

In 2004, jamescoviello.com was launched. This site is a vehicle to stimulate viewers from around the world with the many-faceted interests and design philosophies of the James Coviello brand.
