PIKESVILLE FASHION: Couture Moda Selects Flowing, Colorful Pieces

Fashions are more loose this season—continuing the trend of bright colors, according to Matty Vazgiel, owner of in Pikesville.

At his boutique for women in their 20s and up, he brings his fashion sense to Pikesville through garments, shoes, dresses and blouses.

As per the latest styles, he's carrying designer fashions that are less form-fitting and more flowing this season.

They also feature asymmetrical finishes with bold colors, he said.

Vazgiel is a photographer who won't permit his own photo to be taken.

But that might be the extent of his shyness. I've watched him in action, and he's confident and encouraging with each of his customers.

He says his goal is to dress them in fashion that's suitable—and sexy.

"Through what you wear ... we put you in a new state of mind," he said.

He's also proud of his designer inventory, which includes Swarovski crystal-encrusted tunics, shirts, accessories and an "amazing selection of Robin's Jean."

One of his most interesting pieces are Robins jeans—ripped up in several places, where crystals are tucked inside.

Finally, Vazgiel prides himself on offering "personal service with attitude."

Couture Moda carries women's sizes from extra small to extra large. And men's are up to 4X.

If it's not in the store, he can order it or bring it over from his new, larger store, Boutique 1017, located in the Towson Town Center.
