Spring 2017 was Faretta's first full ready-to-wear season, and she came on like gangbusters, opening three shows (Victoria Beckham, Roberto Cavalli, and Mugler) and closing one (Chloé). She wore key looks like Saint Laurent's bustier top and Céline's Yves Klein–inspired dress. What made Faretta right for each of the distinct brands that cast her? There's nothing saccharine about her; rather, she communicates an innate strength combined with an air of fresh-scrubbed healthiness. It's a winning combo.
In the last half-year, Faretta officially debuted at Givenchy's fall/winter 2016 show (and walked for the house's spring/summer 2017 men's wear show), and had a solid couture week, walking for Atelier Versace, Christian Dior, Chanel, Valentino and Fendi.
The Croatian model was scouted in 2016 and has risen rapidly due to her classical looks, scoring numerous covers and editorials for international Vogue editions and becoming the face of Ralph Lauren.
