Dallas designer Steven Goudeau’s dream has finally come true.
“I can do my own show and present my designs at New York Fashion Week,” he said. “It seems like something I’ve been waiting for for a long time. Now it’s happening.”
Goudeau, the design mastermind of Stephen Goudeau, released several pieces ten years ago. On that show, he wasn’t the focus. He didn’t get the main spotlight. Everything changes on September 11th.
“I’m so blessed. It’s unbelievable that this is happening like this,” said Goudou.
He said he wants to be remembered for works that will never go out of style.
“I always make things that are timeless. I don’t believe in trends. I always make something that in 10 years time will be known as a Stéphane Goudeau dress,” says Goudeau. .
The spelling of his name on his clothing line is no coincidence. He wanted it spelled differently but said the same thing.
“It’s like my alter ego. My name is spelled with a ‘v’, but the line is spelled with a ‘ph’.” I just thought it would be cool and memorable for people.
He’s proud of where he is in his career, but said the sky is the limit at this point.
“I literally prayed about it. I keep praying about it and I keep working on it,” Goudau said.
