BORN IN TORONTO, NICOLAS ANDREA'S TARALIS WENT TO STUDY AT PARSONS SCHOOL OF DESIGN IN NEW YORK, WHEREAFTER HE IN 2004 LAUNCHED HIS PERSONAL LABEL IN OWN NAME. LIMITING HIS COLOR PALETTE, AND STRIPPING EACH PIECE DOWN TO THE ESSENTIAL IS THE TRADEMARK OF TARALIS. INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON AN ABUNDANCE OF COLORS OR TRENDS, TARALIS FOCUSES ON SILHOUETTES, VOLUME AND DETAILS SUCH AS THE QUALITY OF A SINGLE STITCH. TO TARALIS, TAILORING IS THE ULTIMATE INDULGENCE. STRUCTURE AND FORM HAS ALWAYS BEEN IMPORTANT TO HIM AND TAILORING IS THE PERFECT MEDIUM TO EXPLORE IT. WHILE OTHERS OPT FOR CHEAPER AND EASIER METHODS, TARALIS HAS A FETISH FOR KEEPING TRUE HAND-TAILORING ALIVE IN ALL OF HIS COLLECTIONS.
