Nicolas Caito (born May 16, 1969) is a French patternmaker who works in New York City. [1] According to Elle magazine, he is "New York's most in-demand patternmaker" and is often credited with increasing the level of technical craftsmanship in American fashion to a level formerly seen only in Milan and Paris. [1]
Caito was born and raised in the south of France. [2] His interest in fashion was piqued during his youth when he observed the artistry involved in the construction of luxury clothing while traveling in Italy. [1] He initially planned to enter the business side of fashion, and so in 1989, graduated from the Ecole Superieure de Commerce et de Management, Montpelier, with a degree in international business. [1] After his uncle presented him with the opportunity for an apprenticeship at Lanvin, however, Caito changed career paths. [1]
At Lanvin, Caito spent his first two years sewing linings and pockets as deuxième main. [1] There, he climbed the ranks, eventually becoming première main qualifiée, a position in which he sewed detailed flourishes on the house's clothing. [1] [3]
Caito later moved to Hermès for 18 months, and then to Rochas. [1] At Rochas, he collaborated with designer Olivier Theyskens to develop some of the house's critically lauded designs. [1]
In July 2005, Caito opened his own atelier in New York City. Since then, he has worked with some of New York's most talented designers, including Proenza Schouler, Thakoon, Zac Posen, Calvin Klein Collection and Ralph Lauren. He also appears in the Sundance Channel documentary The Day Before [4] alongside Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough of Proenza Schouler.

The term designer label refers to clothing, luxury automobile manufacturers and other personal accessory items sold under an often prestigious marque which is commonly named after a designer, founder, or a location-like where the company was founded. The term is most often applied to luxury goods. While members of the upper middle class, or the mass affluent, are perhaps the most commonly targeted customers of these designer labels, some marquees—such as Cartier, Rolex, Montblanc and the haute couture — tend to a wealthier customer base. But almost every designer brand has merchandise that the middle-class wouldn't normally be able to afford, such as exotic skins, furs and hides, limited edition pieces, or things simply priced higher. Designer label companies use their smaller and cheaper merchandise, aimed at the middle class, such as wallets, fashion jewellery, key-rings and small accessories, to make the majority of their income, whilst the more expensive pieces such as haute couture, high jewellery, hand-bags, shoes and even furnishings are usually reserved for the wealthier upper-class clientele.

Haute couture is the creation of exclusive custom-fitted high-end fashion design that is constructed by hand from start-to-finish. Beginning in the mid-nineteenth century, Paris became the centre of a growing industry that focused on making outfits from high-quality, expensive, often unusual fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finished by the most experienced and capable of sewers—often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques. Couture translates literally from French as "dressmaking", sewing, or needlework and is also used as a common abbreviation of haute couture and can often refer to the same thing in spirit. Haute translates literally to "high".
