Micheal DePaulo

Celebrated international designer Michael DePaulo’s jaw-droppingly architectural evening and cocktail looks are born of his highly developed talent for structure, proportion, and definitive detail.

Renowned for richly sculptural silhouettes and intricate handwork, DePaulo creates heirloom statement pieces that are as technically precise as they are emotionally resonant. For Spring 2026, Michael invokes the uninhibited, celebratory spirit of an experienced traveler journeying through places like Monte Carlo, Marrakesh, St. Tropez, and the Amalfi Coast. Being a woman of sophisticated taste and fashionality, our citizen of the world naturally chooses a wardrobe that both illuminates her rare sense of style and complements the inherent aesthetic beauty of her exotic surroundings. From luminous cocktail-wear to dramatic evening gowns, each piece is designed to carry her seamlessly from one posh setting to the next, with quiet yet unmistakable confidence and differentiated flair.

Michael’s creative process is as rigorous as it is imaginative. Each collection begins with hundreds of sketches, which he distills into a tightly edited and highly refined collection of signature garments whose lines, fabric, and embellishments align in compelling harmony. Michael sources superior rare and resonant materials all over the world — textured silks, hand-embroidered tulles, custom beading, and crystal work – all developed exclusively for his label. The result is clothing with visual and textural soul and structure. Michael DePaulo designs do far more than merely dress a woman – rather, they put her spectacular individuality and deeply aesthetic sensibilities into sharp, scintillating relief.

DePaulo’s gift for balancing grandeur with intimacy sets his label apart in the crowded world of luxury fashion. Each Michael DePaulo piece can be customized to the client, with exclusive made-to-order embroideries, fabrications, and finishes. His architectural talent and skill give his work a sculptural clarity, while his reverence for artisanal craftsmanship imbues each piece with enduring quality. This is why women of influence—from Gwen Stefani to Kate Beckinsale—turn to Michael DePaulo for creations that illuminate without excess, and command presence through unmistakable high-taste, artistry and technical precision rather than mere spectacle.

Michael DePaulo provides superior boutiques and wholesale buyers with more than beautiful clothing. The collection offers heirloom investment pieces—distinctive, meticulously constructed garments that elevate a client’s wardrobe with rarity, refinement, and an unmistakable point of view.
