Profile

After decades in business, Inatome has honed her specialty: slender mermaid gowns. This airy 3,000-square-foot loft is filled with more than 300 chic, modern dresses in floaty, fine textiles—silk, satin, crêpe, and chiffon ($1,700 to $5,000). Everything, including embroidery and beading, is done by hand. By appointment only.
