Originally from Massachusetts, Wesley Nault made the jump to New York to pursue a career in the fashion industry at the age of eighteen. Formally trained at the Fashion Institute of Technology and having spent a year working for Marc Jacobs, Nault was ready to break out on his own landing a spot on the Emmy Award winning show Project Runway in 2008. Although Wesley’s “auf wiedersehen” came early, he said “guten tag” to countless exciting opportunities, everything from uniforms for the new Yankee Stadium, vegetable dresses and lectures for young entrepreneurs, to costumes for superheroes and showgirls. In 2010, Nault won GEN ART’s New Garde grant with a fellow contestant from the Project Runway. Together the two showed a widely received collection at New York Fashion Week that was sponsored by Plastics Make It Possible and hosted by Molly Sims. September of 2010 marked the launch of his solo namesake collection, Wesley Nault. Wesley currently resides and works in New York City.
