ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Fausto Sarli - one of the most creative stylist of our times and one of the most prestigous names of Rome's high fashion trade. Born in Naples, Sarli abandoned his course of business studies to dedicate himself to fashion. He gained experience and ability at such prestigious fashion houses as Schubert and De Luca before setting up his own atelier in Naples at the end of the 50's.
Encouraged by his success he opened a second atelier in the Via Veneto in Rome. His collections were enthusiastically received wherever they were presented: the perfection of his cut and his original style won over both journalist and customers. The world's most demanding and famous women want to wear SARLI. Shy and modest by nature, Sarli does not let his succes affect him: He shuns cult status and carries on scrupulously and diligently with his work.
He continues to use the methods and techniques that typify traditional high fashion. A host of dressmakers, modellers and cutters work on his models while following the rules of the traditional school of dressmaking, and Sarli himself follows every collection through its various phases of creation. His models represent nothing less than an exercise in sartorial style and skill, which is the result of never ending stylistic research and dedication.
Sarli is not only a high fashion dressmaker, however. Different requirements and methods are the inspiration behind his prêt-à-porter collection, where handicraft must yield to mass production and abstract creativity is permeated with the needs of every day life for women who are not prepared to give up either elegance or practicality. And so we witness the birth of collections that are studied in every detail, cut and line but are at the same time both comfortable and practical. Sarli's prêt-à-porter collection is found throughout the world and strengthens the prestige and fame of this stylist who excels in the two fundamental aspects of fashion and elegance: creativity and practicality.
