Here is our third interview with Gino Velardi in anticipation for the Whiteout Fashion Show at Artopia on February 20th! Enjoy 🙂

Q:When did you first know you wanted to be a fashion designer?

So I learned how to do hair and makeup, styling and production, but I didn’t like to do any of those things for someone else, so I adopted the role of fashion designer. I saturated myself with the knowledge of clothing design. Then I can have

Q:What has been the most rewarding and the most frustrating part of your

A:The reward comes from my family, friends and fans that have supported … Read more!
