Behind the Velvet Rope: An Exclusive Backstage Interview with Daniela Corte

BOSTON,MA - Fashion isn’t just about what you wear, it’s about how it makes you feel. At the Velvet Party, hosted by the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, we had the privilege of stepping behind the scenes with honoree Daniela Corte, the renowned Boston-based designer known for her impeccable tailoring, bold silhouettes, and effortlessly chic designs.

Backstage, amidst the energy of final touch-ups and last-minute fittings, Daniela shared her thoughts on fashion as an art form, the power of personal style, and what inspires her to push boundaries with every collection.

Fashion as Confidence

For Daniela, clothing is more than fabric, it’s a reflection of confidence. ”if you look good, if you feel good, you're going to do your best work," she told us. At an event like the Velvet Party, where artistry shines, her designs embodied that philosophy, blending classic sophistication with a modern edge.

What’s Next for Daniela Corte?

From custom couture to ready-to-wear collections, Daniela continues to shape the future of Boston fashion. As we wrapped up our conversation, she hinted at new projects on the horizon, as this year is her 25th anniversary. "Where you heart goes, that's where you're going to do your best work."

The Velvet Party may have been a night of opulence and glamour, but for us, the real magic was found backstage—where art, fashion, and confidence came together through the vision of Daniela Corte.
