Dubbed the ‘King of Copycats’, he attained international fame in the mid-1970s for mimicking high-end European styles, tailoring them to his American audiences for affordable prices. In 1987, the New York Times reported that, along with Christian Lacroix and Arnold Scaasi, Costa ‘is widely recognized... as a significant contributor to the current vogue for flamboyant, super-feminine dresses that bare the shoulders, hug the waistline and billow and swirl over the hips’. He founded Victor Costa, Inc. and later Victor Costa Bridal, and designed for several large retail outlets well into the 1990s. At one time, he was delivering merchandise to five different markets a year. Costa is known for his extensive list of loyal customers, including Betsy Bloomingdale, Brooke Shields and Ivana Trump; he has also designed for First Ladies Lady Bird Johnson and Rosalynn Carter, as well as President Richard Nixon's daughters, Tricia Nixon Cox and Julie Nixon Eisenhower.”
