20 years ago, Elio Marzullo brought the European born concept of the fashion house to Australian shores. Situated on the corner of Edward and Elizabeth streets in central Brisbane, Elio Moda has stood alone as a fashion location; a hub of style and expertise; the address of the best-dressed.

Now with a series of awards to its name and a string of prominent faces dependant on it, the Elio Moda label continues to set the benchmark for tailored wear in Australia.

With a carefully chosen team of stylists and an in-house tailor to its credit, the success of the Brisbane born label is unsurprising. The locally situated label reaches globally to clients on the move, bridging the gap European and Australian style. Its famous menswear and ever expanding womenswear collections have struck the right chord with the fashion elite in Australia.

While the label may be most cherished by those with a nose for style, the house greets those in need of some fashion know-how with open arms, offering an educational experience to those who are willing. Tailored wear is an essential element of corporate and public life. The Elio Moda range juxtaposes high end fashion and corporate attire, creating a look that is appropriate for the office and screams style in the after-work party hours.

Since gracing the industry with his presence 20 years ago, the Sicilian born designer Elio Marzullo has put his heart and soul into styling the city of Brisbane, upping the anti in Australian fashion. Dubbed ‘Brisbane’s Man of Style’ by media onlookers Elio has worked toward a greater style consciousness and has successfully filled a gap in the Australian market with his award winning Elio Moda label.

Helpful Hint: Suit Care by Elio Moda

I came across the below information while researching and thought it would was a good guide to Suit Care (by Elio Moda).

So whether your getting married or just your partner has a few suits in the wardrobe, correct care may be able to extend the life of the suit!

AIRING
We recommend you air your garments from time to time which allows the creases to fallout. Airing the suit allows perspiration moisture to dry which lessens the need to frequent dry-cleaning.

ROTATING
Rotate your suits as oftenas possible to allow the fabric to breathe between use. This will help inreducing the build up of perspiration moisture, which eventually deteriorates the fabric. Wool is naturally elastic. Resting wool garments for oneday between use will allow the garment to retain its shape.

BRUSHING
We have recommended brushing and thoroughly ventilating wool clothing after wearing, to remove surface soils and allow fabrics to relax. Brushingis the best method of dust and lint removal, which if left can seriously spoil the cloth, and contribute to premature deterioration of the garment. For the best results we recommend using a natural bristle clothes brush.

PRESSING
Have your suit pressed to remove creases rather than dry cleaned. This will help by minimizing the amount of cleaning solvents the fabric is subjected to. Should your garment require pressing, we recommend that you use a reputable dry cleaner that we can organize for you, and ask for a press service only.

HANGING
It is preferable to hang the garment on the original hanger, and this will ensure the shoulder line andchest shape is retained throughout the life of the garment. Try to avoid an overcrowded wardrobe as crushing may occur - hanging this wool garment in a steamy bathroom from time to time in order to relax and refresh the garment.

DRY-CLEANING
When dry-cleaning it is important to use a reputable dry-cleaning specialist. Sub-standard dry-cleaning can be damaging to the life of the product. Excessive heat, poor quality chemicals and excess moisture used by inexperienced cleaners will ruin the fabric and interlining construction of the garment.

NOTE: The above tips http://www.eliomoda.com.au/Suit-Care-pg5974.html recommended for wool products only. For non-wool fabrics or blends, please consult a quality professional dry-cleaner.
