Alfred Angelo: A true Family business even 80 years on

 

Lacey Joys recently had the privilege of meeting Michelle Piccone it was fantastic to meet the designer of our wonderful dresses and meet the inspiration behind the company.

Michelle engaged with all of us and we really got to know this iconic company. We also met the new CEO Paul Quentel and are excited by the new Alfred Angelo 2015 line and plan to expand and advance their UK presence and marketing into grooms wear with ACS and Richard Freedman who we also sat next to during dinner and were very pleased to meet.

 

Alfred Angelo, America’s oldest and largest family-owned and operated bridal company, was founded in 1933 by Alfred Angelo Piccione in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Soon joined by his wife, fashion designer Edythe Vincent Piccione, together they envisioned the market for affordably-priced wedding attire that would retain a custom-made look.

 

For 45 years they worked together and made Alfred Angelo the most recognized bridal name in the America. The company grew from a small custom design studio into the major design and manufacturing business it is today.

Their children grew up in the world of bridal sketches, SEWING MACHINES and elegant gowns.

Since 1984 Alfred Angelo has prospered under the leadership of its founders’ children: Chief Executive Officer, Vincent E. Piccione and Chief Creative Officer, Michele Piccione.With their own talent, hard work and vision, they grew Alfred Angelo into one of the most successful, globally-recognized bridal brands in the world, employing thousands of PEOPLE on four continents.The two of them share management of the company and operate it with the same level of trust and care upon which it was founded.
