History[edit]
J'Aton is a Melbourne-based fashion house founded by Jacob Luppino and Anthony Pittorino in Ascot Vale. They draw inspiration from their Italian heritage and employing traditional techniques. J'Aton has gained a reputation as a top choice among Australia's social and celebrity elite.[1]
Work[edit]
J'Aton Couture has been recipient of many awards, including the 2009 Prix de Marie Claire Awards for Best Eveningwear Designers[2] and numerous Australian Gown of the Year acknowledgments. In addition to private couture requests, the house has created many custom-made evening gowns for local and international red carpets and editorial assignments.
Many high-profile women have worn the label including Tina Arena, Dita von Teese, Charlize Theron, Kylie Minogue and Dannii Minogue, Melissa George, Delta Goodrem, Lily Cole and Keisha Whitaker.[3][4][5]
For the 2009 Academy Awards Ceremony, J'Aton also dressed Heath Ledger's mother, Sally Bell, for her acceptance of his posthumous Academy Award.
Most recently, Sam Worthington's partner Natalie Mark wore a diamond embellished, Avatar-inspired gown by the label to the 2010 Academy Awards.
Dannii Minogue was well known for often wearing J'Aton Couture dresses on shows of The X Factor UK in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Minogue is also known to wear the dresses on Australia's Got Talent.
Destruction of studio[edit]
On 10 December 2008, fire engulfed the label's atelier above the Greville Street showroom. The resulting damage to the premises was estimated to be worth $300,000 while it was estimated by the designers that the twenty evening gowns destroyed in the fire were worth $400,000 to 500,000.[6] The substantial financial loss and the event of the fire and clean-up itself, forced the designers to delay J'Aton Couture's move to New York.[6]
