Fausto Puglisi: SS 2013 Collection

While I of course remember somewhat painfully watching Madonna's 2012 super bowl halftime performance, I really remember her amazing gladiator-esque outfit and headdress. I never really thought of who designed the outfit and passed it off as the work of a costume designer. I recently stumbled across the work of Fausto Puglisi and was shocked to find that he was not only the designer behind Madonna's memorable getup, but has also dressed the likes of Nicki Minaj, Coco Rocha, Miley Cyrus, Fergie... oh the list goes on. Shame on me!! Anyway, here is a little bit more about the designer...

Fausto Puglisi loves visual culture. He is inspired by the mix between the high culture and popular elements and the result is a really complex brand identity: heroic Sicily, Italian neo-realism movies, American star system, Roman gladiators, modern architecture and the richness of the Mediterranean Baroque. His geometric creations express a rich and defined style, focusing on color contrasts and embroideries research. His clothes embody an ideal of beauty based on strength, to design a contemporary glamour.

Very seductive inspiration.
