Named after his grandfather and Italian word for pine tree, Crispin started PINO “as an experiment to better understand the challenges of designing and producing high quality designs, building a brand, and surviving in Portland as a designer, in Argento's own words. "I hope to continue to grow the brand and offer the needed business resources and sales/production channels to advance emerging designers nationally and grow the Portland fashion industry,” he says, looking forward to his role in furthering Portland fashion.
Duchess Clothier was created in 2005 and has been making custom suits and separates for dapper gents and ladies for the past seven years from our Portland headquarters.
