CUNTMAFIA was an idea created by Contessa Stuto and developed by her growing up in Long Island/New York City. The inspiration was as raw and uncommercial as possoble; the word cunt was not to be the trendy and “tongue and chic” meaning the “fashion world” watered it down to. As she was growing up in New York City she was heavily involved in the Queer, Goth, Punk, Hip-hop Underground music & Nightlife scenes.
 
Her obsession with night life and music developed into her “fantasy life” escaping real life. Always raving around town and being the center of attention, she then started role playing with looks (fantasy). She started getting into different characters that would fit into the atmospheres she was going to. Spending her school time sewing her own garments she was heavily infatuated with creating her own “NEW YORK” Image. Street wear was something she always labeled her personal stye; she then started developing her own aesthetic that has now being knocked off by every designer, stylist and celebrity. Her dreams were to be a “Rockstar” and a “Fashion Designer,” but in reality her business savvy and boss bitch mindset was to fuse both and create an empire; hence CUNTMAFIA was born. CUNTMAFIA is derived off of the word CUNT in the punk and vogue scene and MAFIA is obviously derived from her italian roots and influential crews such as “Junior Mafia.”
 
End of Highschool and Y2K she moved to Brooklyn (roaming around from Bed Stuy to Bushwick) and was apart of the “Williamsburg explosion.” Electro-clash music was at the forefront and at the time the “Queer” and “Underground” Brooklyn. Her love for voguing and dancing had her dabbling into the ballroom scene within the lesbian community. By the time she was in her mid 20’s she discovered Roxy Cottontail parties where at the time was where the “IT” parties were. In 2007 She met everyone from M.I.A., Spankrock, Le1f, Theophilus London, Maluca, Azealia Banks, $hayne (Hood by Air), Kesh, Vashtie, Venus X, House of Ladosha.. etc etc. by being in that downtown urban scene that centered solely around fashion and music. It was then when she met former room-mate Promise Smith and started the ICONIC Rave “WHOREHOUSE” which is where people such as ASAP Rocky, Kilo Kish, J Scott and others got their early start.
