Antonino “Nino” Cutraro’s style rewards a second look. What seems simple at first quickly reveals clever, meticulous details — like custom Italian shoes dyed to match the exact shade of the buttons on his bespoke sport coat. Years ago, he made a Best Dressed appearance in a full snakeskin jacket with matching eelskin boots, proving he’s never been afraid of a statement. Today, his favorite designers are Dolce & Gabbana and Etro, and he and Liz do most of their shopping in Rome and Beverly Hills. Nino is one of the funniest people you’ll ever meet. His whimsical, carefree personality shows in his wardrobe. He often picks the clothes, and Liz picks the colors.
Liz is the soft, elegant counterpoint — the flower on his lapel. She mixes old with new, favoring classic silhouettes with a touch of edge. Her favorite designers include Armani, Alexander McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana, and now their son, Nino Jr., whose progressive line she proudly champions.
Fashion advice
Nino: Go with what you feel.
Liz: Have fun. Don’t be too obvious — or too understated.
