Melillo has a big business at Barneys, and he recently opened two ATM stores in the West Village and Amagansett.
He’s the first to admit he isn’t reinventing the wheel here; his m.o. is taking classic, simple pieces and making them as luxurious as possible, from the ultrafine materials right down to the buttons. That explains why Melillo’s T-shirts feel like nothing else, and why his army jackets look perfectly beat-up. Those are items every woman ostensibly needs in her wardrobe, but they’re especially suited to frequent fliers; even the anti-sweatpants among us would feel chic and pulled-together in Melillo’s new pale taupe silk joggers with a matching zip-up and camisole.
