Romy talks fashion

In this episode, I reconnect with designer Brian De Carvalho after a year, diving into his incredible journey from studying fine art to becoming a self-taught fashion designer during the pandemic. Brian shares how creating clothes for himself led to opportunities to dress drag queens and celebrities, all while establishing his unique voice in the fashion industry.

We discuss the challenges young designers face, the artistry of corsetry, and the struggle to balance family expectations with creative freedom. Brian also reflects on the transformative moment he received John Galliano’s blessing, how it inspired him to take his work seriously, and the lessons he’s learned while building his own brand. This is an inspiring and candid conversation that’s a must-listen for aspiring creatives and fashion lovers alike
