Antoinette Fusillo extended her European adventure after being captivated by couture and the arts in Paris, but would ultimately return to Melbourne to launch her eponymous label in 2009. Antoinette’s bespoke approach marries traditional and contemporary influences to create exclusive one-off gowns. Like the love they celebrate, AF pieces are completely unique and made to be treasured.
Antoinette’s innate ability to design descends from the atelier experience running through her bloodline. Her father, a tailor who learnt his trade at a young age in Italy under a master tailor, and her mother, a head seamstress and pattern-maker of a fashion house in her teenage years in the south of Italy, provided fertile ground for Antoinette’s aptitude for creation and development.
Antoinette Fusillo is a brand with a strong European sensibility and signature aesthetic. AF explores the beauty defined by femininity and strength, in equal balance, to celebrate and support love in all its forms.
As true engineers of dress, the AF team are dedicated to creating artfully inspired pieces that are as individual as you. The team are specialists in their craft, fueled by desire to create and innovate. They explore traditional and unorthodox techniques acquired through their wealth of knowledge and industry experience.
