Carlos Campos grew up in a design household inspired by his father, a master tailor. It was here that Campos decided to follow in his father's footsteps to become a fashion designer and to pursue his own version of the American Dream. In 2007, he launched his namesake brand CARLOS CAMPOS NEW YORK. The brand's modern take on "classic American style, with a latin twist" immediately earned him the respect and accolades in the US and Latin American fashion communities including the Fashion Group lnternational's Rising Star for Menswear and VANIDADES Emerging Designer Award.
