Fashion designer and reality TV standout—best known as the runner-up on season ten of Project Runway—made a strong impression that paved the way for his return on Project Runway All Stars season four. His name became synonymous with bold, innovative style, and he used that momentum to launch his own clothing line called NotEqual, a forward-thinking, genderless apparel brand that reflects his inclusive vision for fashion. Before all the spotlight, though, his journey began in Brazil, where he was raised by his grandmother, a skilled seamstress. It was from her that he inherited his deep passion for garment construction and attention to detail. Watching her work sparked something in him early on, and that inspiration carried through his education. He went on to earn his bachelor’s degree in fashion design from Universidade de FUMEC, and further honed his craft with studies at prestigious institutions like FIT and PRAT. Though his roots are in Brazil, he eventually made the move to Brooklyn, New York, where he continued to build his career. His name continues to stand out in the fashion world—not just for his runway success, but for his commitment to redefining what clothing can mean in a modern, diverse society.
He has a line of what he calls Artisanal apparel, which is known for featuring one-of-a-kind pieces in his NotEqual collection.
