Michael Fausto Spring Summer 25 collection, titled “Castellammare”, explores the life of an Italian debutante, capturing both opulence and ease. Photographer Katie Borrazzo captured backstage moments at the Michael Fausto Spring Summer 25 show , exclusively for DSCENE Magazine. Inspired by his recent travels through Sicily, Fausto’s designs reflect the island’s unique historic grandeur and relaxed lifestyle. The collection draws heavily on this narrative, incorporating details from Sicilian palazzos and evoking the charm of the “dolce vita.”

One of the standout elements is the use of antique Venetian lace, which depicts mythical sea creatures. This lace is featured in dramatic evening gowns, imbuing a sense of discovery and wonder as if the wearer has unearthed a rare artifact. Fausto’s emphasis on combining ornate, historical references with a modern sensibility gives the collection a distinct aesthetic.
Fausto’s SS25 debut on the CFDA calendar at New York Fashion Week is a significant milestone for the brand, marking its growth and recognition within the fashion industry. His journey, from working in prestigious ateliers like Oscar de la Renta and Badgley Mischka to building his own brand, is reflected in the craftsmanship and rich storytelling that define his collections.
