Marco is "The Master Tailor"
 

With solid tailoring skills and a perfectionistic approach instilled in him by his father who was also a tailor, Marco immigrated to this country in 1979 and was able to immediately utilize his skills working with some of the most discerining clients in New Jersey.

 

 

Guilianna

  

Growing up in Trieste, Italy, Guilianna Farguna never imagined that one day she would be sewing garments for fashion icons like Jacqueline Kennedy. She learned how to sew at the age of 16 and it was her rigorous training and meticulous approach to sewing that caught the eye of her first supervisor and prompted her to pluck Guilianna out of mass production in the garment district in New York City, and place her in a small boutique with clients who would appreciate her dedication to perfection.

 

 

Maria

 

Born in a small town near Naples, Italy, Maria Gallo was ten years old when her mother made arrangements with a dressmaker on her street to teach her daughter to sew. Maria recalls having to clean the dressmaker’s home in exchange for lessons. She also recalls the first garment she ever made by herself when she was 13 years old. It was a blue and white polka dot dress for her mother that was suitable to wear on Sunday.

 

In 1990, she opened her own tailoring business in Millburn which she ran for 24 years. Maria said she loves her work. “I enjoy working on all kinds of garments, everything from men’s suits to dresses. I enjoy all of it,” said Maria. 

She said, “What is most satisfying is seeing someone enjoying the feel and fit of their newly garment and the happy look on their face.”
