The story
Carlos Campos was born in Honduras and grew up in a tailoring and design household inspired by his father. After a few tailoring jobs in Brooklyn and a short-lived scarf and tie business, he enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York at the age of 23.
Campos presented his own designs at the New York Fashion Week for the first time in 2001.
In 2006, he branched out his self-titled menswear label. He later co-founded a second imprint, Guido New York, opened his made-to-measure studio in New York City.
In September 2008 Carlos Campos presented his first womenswear collection at the Altman Building in Chelsea (New York City), including an all black female cast for his runway show. According to a release, the designer's inspiration was supermodel Iman and the collection was described as "Jet set rockstar - think David Bowie and Iman on Holiday in South France."
The labels' Fall/Winter 2009 collection was perceived as provocative since it included military, church and sado-masochist wear elements.
