FASHION & GROOMING

Melbourne based fashion label established by designer Simon Lyssiotis, has grown to become one of Australia’s most interesting and unique labels for men.

Over the past year Fontaine has grown from an online store to being a well established and well stocked brand in some of the best boutiques around Australia. Fontaine’s success can be attributed to its unique artistry; each collection presents the wearer with a different theme and narrative.

Fontaine uses high quality 100% cotton, eclectic colour pallets and is proudly 100% Australian made.

With a background in corporate marketing and sales, Lyssiotis quickly grew tired of corporate Australia and its vast limitations. After a vacation in the South of France, which inspired what he calls his “Great Escape”, he resigned from the corporate world and began pursuing his passion for entrepreneurship and design.

His debut collection Dream of Passion, which was an encouragement to follow that vision of hope and desire, was well received in boutiques around Australia which led to the latest collection for Autumn/Winter 2012. The Other Side of Midnight is presented in three different chapters, chronically the 24 hour journey involving a number of characters.

The collection delves deep into the psyche of human behavior and explores themes which include isolation, hedonism, rage, sexuality, and ultimately the quest for paradise through the cyclonic pathway of each person’s own private hell.
