Fugnitto is a brand formed by creative director Mario Fugnitto. Mario is a Canadian designer born and raised between Whitby and Toronto, with a strong Italian heritage having been brought up by his family who moved from italy in the1960s. Mario danced professionally for 15 years, during which time he became heavily inspired by movement and form and began designing costumes for dancers from different areas in the professional dance world. Mario remained in the dance world, teaching children, and designing costumes. He learned more about the craftsmanship of designing garments and realised a vision for his own brand. Henceforth, Fugnitto was born. Mario still finds inspiration from dance, whether it be the movement, music, or overall energy
