Troy Costa (born 1975)[citation needed] is an Indian fashion designer and owner of the eponymous "Troy Costa" menswear label, launched in 2008 after shows at the Dubai Fashion Week[1] and the Lakme Fashion Week.[2] Costa designed outfits for the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014.[3]

Early life

[edit]

Costa was born in Bombay (now Mumbai) to a Goan father and a Portuguese mother.[citation needed] His family is Catholic.[4][5]

Career

[edit]

Costa began his career in 2003 designing both men's and women's apparel, though he gradually shifted his focus more significantly towards menswear.[5]

Between 2008 and 2011, Costa's menswear collections were curated for a number of fashion shows across India and the Middle East, including Dubai International Fashion Week,[6] Lakme Fashion Week[7] and Van Heusen Men's Week.[8]

In 2011, Costa opened his flagship store in Khar West, Mumbai.[9][10]

Through 'The Great Gatsby Collection', which showcased Troy Costa's Winter 2013 collection at Lakme Fashion Week 2013, Costa introduced a line of formal coats and suits paired with luxury cotton jeans and formal plain shirts.[11] These were said to represent Costa's interpretation of the decadence, idealism, and quixotic charm that defined the American 1920s.[11]

In 2014, the then-newly appointed Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, appointed Costa to curate his wardrobe ahead of his first important international visit to the BRICS summit in Brazil with a subsequent US visit.[12][13]

In 2015, he Costa was listed by Hindustan Times among other notable personalities in "Mumbai's Most Stylish".[14]
