Sabato Russo was born and raised in the town of Foggia, in the south of Italy, Puglia region. After high school, he left home to continue his education, moving to Florence, and then Milan to attend the Faculty of Architecture. It was in Milan that Sabato met several fashion designers and began his career as a model. He's since walked the runways of the capitals of the fashion in Paris, Milan, New York, and Tokyo. Japan was a fascinating chapter for Sabato; it's history, culture, and sensibility captured him completely. Realizing that fashion was his passion, he started a collaboration as an assistant designer with Issey Miyake. All was clear, fashion designing was his passion, and with his new formed family, he moved to New York where his son was born and he began prestigious collaborations with local and international companies (Barneys, Kashiyama, G.Ferre, Fendi, etc.) In 2015, Sabato became the creative director 'Sartorial Monk.' Today he lives between Milan and Puglia, concentrating on his new project 'Sabato Russo.'
