The size-inclusive, sustainability-focused brand has already dressed the likes of Billy Porter, and it's not slowing down anytime soon.
Author:James KelleyUpdated:Dec 5, 2019Original:Dec 5, 2019Can a fashion brand that chooses to stay small on purpose survive? Is a designer able to inspire policy change? Sergio "Celestino" Guadarrama and Kade Johnson, the duo behind Celestino Couture, wouldn't just say a quiet 'yes' to those questions — they'd shout it.
"We can't take a fortune with us when we're gone," Johnson says. "But the legacy? That's the footprint that we can leave." Because we use only use upcycled textiles, we might only make one or two of anything in that specific textile. All of the couture stuff is made-to-measure. We make everything from scratch in our studio here in New York.Beads are something that we do purchase new because they're very difficult to source. Still, we use a lot of upcycled beaded materials. What we have not been able to get around in terms of sustainability are things like thread.
Speaking of celebrities wearing Celestino Couture, you and Billy Porter have a really great relationship. What do you think that has done for your brand?
