Backstage at Fausto Puglisi Womens Fall/Winter 2016/2017
By Women's Fashion Week | 27 February 2016

Puglisi, a Sicilian by birth who got his first fashion break in America, pulled together favourite inspirations and motifs from his native and adopted countries for his latest collection: palm trees, cowboy boots, futuristic prints, ecclesiastical silhouettes and baroque accents.

“This season I said, Fausto, don’t be afraid. Do what you like,” the designer said backstage. “In the end I like classic women, sexy women, conservative women, strong women, independent women, outrageous women. I like all women.”

Puglisi unites the collection with his graphic sense, bold colour blocks and prints, and an eye for silhouettes, pairing a stiff, flouncy skirt that screams fun with a laid-back baseball jacket, or tucking preppy cable knits into high-leather miniskirts.

Looks are finished with Acme catalogue-inspired cowboy boots, half-laced biker boots or gladiator sandals that buckle all the way up the thigh.

The craftsmanship of the line was on display in a series of sequined embroideries that tied together the collection’s motifs, including baroque swirls decorating the length of a long dress with the sturdy silhouette of an ecclesiastical vestment.
