Meet Anthony Bolognese
DC’s Best Custom Clothier
Anthony Bolognese is a true entrepreneurial spirit with an eye for style and a flair for helping others look their best. As the founder of Capitol Hill Clothiers, he has carved out a distinctive niche in the heart of DC’s high-end fashion. His career path and reputation as a clothier to the nation's movers and shakers in DC shows passion, a dedication to craftsmanship, and an unparalleled commitment to his clientele’s success and confidence.
Creative Beginnings
Anthony was not always immersed in the world of textiles and tailored suits. His creative journey found its roots in the art of photography, providing editorial shoots for other fashion brands, headshots for DC-based corporations and nonprofits, as well as event photography for the same clients. He still provides these services through Capitol Hill Photo and uses these skills to offer Capitol Hill Clothiers’s clients a one-of-a-kind photoshoot in every garment he makes for them.
Entrepreneurship and Fashion
The interplay between Anthony's love for photography and fashion led to the inception of Capitol Hill Clothiers, the brand that is redefining the sartorial landscape of Washington, D.C.'s power corridors. In recognizing the need for personalization and the desire for distinctive style among executives, lobbyists, and lawyers, Anthony launched a business that focused on impeccable design along with a distinctly personal touch.
Philanthropy
Anthony's venture is more than a fashion house; it's an expression of his ethos. His dedication to quality and service is evident in his constant effort to give back to his community. This was most recently exemplified by his choice to sponsor athlete Dan Kain in the 4th annual Beltway Brawl, a charity boxing tournament put on by Haymakers for Hope.
Sharing Knowledge and Experience
Bolognese's love for his work extends beyond cloth and thread; it's rooted in relationships and the shared experiences of dressing some of the nation's most influential figures. Anthony shares insights into his journey through the Getting Dressed Podcast, where listeners can delve into the nuances of fashion, style, and personal/professional growth.
