Styling Guide

  • Formal Evening: Wear the opera coat over a sleek evening gown for a show-stopping entrance at galas, opera performances, weddings or black-tie events. Choose the side that compliments our outfit best, whether it's the colorful jacquard for a bold statement or the satin for an understated elegance. Cinch the waist with the detachable sash belt to accentuate your silhouette.
  • Cocktail Attire: For a sophisticated cocktail party or upscale social event, layer the opera coat over a chic cocktail dress, LVD Set or a tailored jumpsuit. Opt for the reversible side that harmonizes with your ensemble and play with different ways to tie the sash belt for added style. We love it with one of our byVINNIK chunky chain belts.
  • Daytime Glamour: Elevate your everyday style by pairing the opera coat with tailored trousers, grommet dress or a pencil skirt, creating a polished and refined look. Choose a more casual outfit underneath and let the coat be the centerpiece, adding a touch of elegance to your daytime ensemble.
  • Vintage-inspired: Embrace the nostalgic charm of the opera coat by incorporating vintage-inspired elements into your outfit. Pair it with a retro-style dress, classic pumps, headscarf, lace gloves and vintage accessories for a timeless and sophisticated ensemble.
  • Casual Chic: Create a casual yet stylish look by layering the opera coat over a pair of jeans, a graphic t-shirt, and ankle boots. This juxtaposition of the coat's elegance with casual elements adds a touch of effortless chic to your everyday attire.

Remember, the versatility of the opera coat allows you to experiment and explore different combinations, tailoring it to suit your personal style and the occasion at hand.

MEET THE DESIGNER

Suzanne Vinnik wearing kaftan with a dress formFashion Designer Suzanne Vinnik has captivated audiences across the globe and is one of the most influential women in classical music as an opera singer, community engagement leader, photographer, and now successful Creative Director & Fashion Designer behind the brand byVINNIK.

As an opera singer, some of her favorite roles as a leading soprano included the title role in Manon Lescaut, Nedda in Pagliacci, Mimi and Musetta in La bohème, Violetta in La traviata, amongst others, with notable engagements at Pittsburgh Opera, Florida Grand Opera, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and on concert stages as a soloist throughout Italy, Norway (Her Majesty Queen Sonja in the audience), Russia and before members of United States Congress sharing the stage with President Joe Biden. Her parallel pursuit of entrepreneurial endeavors led her first to start Shoperatic, the largest specialized social media network and marketplace for all women in classical music. In addition, she is a photographer, guest columnist, and stylist and hosted "Diva Who Hustles," an online web series for The Dallas Opera Network during the early days of the pandemic in 2020.

Suzanne's love of fashion and desire to create her dream job on her terms inspired the launch of "byVINNIK," an ethically manufactured inclusive womenswear line made in Downtown Los Angeles with clientele all over the world including some of the biggest names in Classical Music, Broadway, and Television. As one of the few brands that cater to both straight and plus sizes, her work is sought out and featured on Disney+, Netflix, RuPaul's Drag Race, and most recently on HBOMax's hit TV Show "The White Lotus" worn by Jennifer Coolidge in an episode nominated for an Emmy in the “Outstanding Contemporary Costumes” category.  In addition, many of her designs frequently are worn at significant red-carpet events, magazines, and performances worldwide by some of the most talented artists of our time. 

Suzanne holds a B.M. in Vocal Performance from Texas Christian University, with additional studies at Mannes College of Music and Otis College of Design. In addition, she is an alumnus of the Opera Studio of Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome, Italy, where she studied and performed under the tutelage of Renata Scotto and The Dallas Opera's Hart Institute for Women Conductors where she was an Administration Fellow in 2019.

She enjoys sharing her knowledge on entrepreneurship, fashion, female empowerment, and classical music as a guest panelist a d keynote speaker at conferences and universities especially working with women to share the entrepreneurship journey. The best part of transitioning from singing opera to fashion is seeing how divas have blossomed in their confidence, wearing her designs of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds.
