Giuliano Calza on Creating GCDS, Dressing BLACKPINK, and Alexander McQueen | Fashion Forensics

Fashion designer Giuliano Calza grew up with the notions of the Neapolitan culture - having the space to explore the beauty of his surroundings from an early age, creating an imagination that always wanted more. His teenage years led him to become particularly interested in the Mandarin language, eventually moving to Shanghai where his identity began to reach its full form. After spending four years in China, Calza returned to create his own namesake label - GCDS - which now, ten years later, has become one of the fastest growing independent brands in fashion. Coming into the Fashion Forensics hot seat, he takes us on his unconventional journey of finding himself through his own imagination, his first impressions seeing Alexander McQueen's shows and what it means to create pop culture. Welcome to Fashion Forensics - the visual podcast where we examine fashion as a non-transaction with some of the world's best artists, stylists, designers, photographers and editors, stripping it down to its core identity. Join me, Angel Nemov, a fashion editor and journalist in examining how past imagery has shaped our present identity, and what that means for our collective future.
