Screen: Michael Fausto’s Spring/Summer Debut Collection. A luxury women’s wear line that centers around the line of myth and modernity. A graduate of FIT, Michael Fausto spent his time post grad training in the ateliers of Oscar de la Renta, Marchesa, and Badgley Mischka.
The theme “Castellamare” follows the summer of an Italian debutante as she explores “la dolce vita”. This fast-paced party girl is sent to a family palazzo in Sicily and is ultimately forced to adapt to the coastal lifestyle. The historic and ornate home she is now living in is filled with luxurious textiles and family heirlooms. As curiosities begin to mix with her high society style, a creation emerges as a juxtaposition between the slow and the fast, the old and the new, and the sleek and obscure.
