COMPANY
Cosmo and Donato, Inc., encompasses seasonal fashion apparel and statement art collections. In addition, we maintain editorial, costume design and studio service divisions. The company operates 2 full-line boutiques and a novelty footwear shop in Los Angeles; and online at www.CosmoAndDonato.com.
Since 2010, their Melrose Ave boutique, Cosmo’s Glamsquad, has been the penultimate source for experimental statement fashion and whimsical festival-wear.
Cosmo & Donato opened in February 2020, offering a broader range of ready-to-wear and a more sophisticated interpretation of theatrical and festival-influenced fashion.
Shoe Whore, our newest concept shop, launched in 2022. It stocks footwear, lingerie, and "raver" fashion. The store targets a young-contemporary shopper with provocative interpretations of mainstream market trends.
Cosmo and Donato manufacture exclusively in the United States of America.
COSMO'S GLAMSQUAD
... conveys aggressive perspectives in luxury fashion apparel, accessories, and conversation-art; offering a discovery-driven shopping experience.
Cosmo's Glamsquad is a Los Angeles lifestyle boutique rooted in the "underground couture" sub-culture. The in-house luxury knit collection by Cosmo and Donato is supported by a global selection of independent designers. An evolving curation highlights fresh concepts and avant-garde silhouettes. Differentiated perspectives resonate with the high-end shopper seeking fashion innovation.
COSMO LOMBINO
Cosmo Lombino has been shaping “gritty-couture” in Los Angeles for over 30 years. A succinct confidence in his craft began with a career as a Manhattan hair stylist in the 90's. It was an era of "supermodel" confidence and bold choices. Inspired by street-art driven retailers Pat Fields, Fiorucci, and Jumpin' Jack Flash, Cosmo formulated a high-energy retail concept driven by emerging designers that made customers the “supermodels”; a store that could deliver individualized style to each shopper.
Cosmo was instrumental in the development of Hollywood’s Melrose fashion district. His love for experimental fashion and individuality earned his stores a reputation as LA's destination for festival fashion, editorial stylists, and red-carpet standouts. From the WBA Heavyweight Champion of The World, to recording artists Beyonce, Niki Minaj, and Gwen Stefani; to Oscar-winning actresses-- Cosmo’s silliness belies a honed stylist's eye that can redefine your very presence, and change everything.
DONATO CROWLEY
Donato Crowley’s fashion career spans both sides of the camera. His early career in front of the lens fostered a keen eye for editorial drama and couture aesthetics. An extensive collection of camera-ready headwear and accessories- complete with hand-placed Swarovski crystals- infused thoughtful opulence into the editorials of Nicola Formichetti and Steven Klein. Donato’s “wearable art” has been featured in Vogue L’uomo and Numero magazines; and been worn by Niki Minaj, Madonna, Machine Gun Kelly and Justin Bieber. Baseball’s Giancarlo Stanton and boxing champ Deontay Wilder are collectors of his statement-pieces. Prior to joining into company-partnership with Cosmo in 2018, Donato’s Kali4Kouture collection had been a flagship label featured in Cosmo’s stores.
Mr. Crowley, an equal partner, is also the organization’s Creative Director. In his role, he has authority over all special design projects; leads the company’s online sales and marketing initiatives; and manages the private manufacturing and theatrical costume divisions. Under his tenure, the company launched its eponymous knitwear collection, expanded retail offerings, cultivated a boutique private-label clientele; leveraging a global footprint for the Cosmo and Donato lifestyle brand.
