Dallas designer Steven Goudeau’s dream is finally coming true.
“I can do my own show and show my designs at New York Fashion Week,” he said. “It’s like something I’ve been waiting for so long. Now, it’s happening.”
Goudeau, who is the brainchild of Stephen Goudeau Designs, debuted several pieces ten years ago. In that show, he wasn’t the highlight. He did not receive the main attention. Everything changes on September 11th.
“I’m so blessed. It’s unbelievable that it’s happening like this,” Goudeau said.
He said he wants to be remembered for pieces that will never go out of style.
“I always create timeless. I don’t believe in trends. I always create something where 10 years from now people know it’s a Stephen Goudeau dress,” Goudeau said.
Putting his name on his clothing line is no accident. He wanted it to be spelled differently, but he said the same thing.
“It’s kind of 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 interesting and memorable for people,” Goudeau said.
While he is proud of where he is in his career, he said the sky is the limit at this point.
“I literally just prayed for him. I keep praying for him and I keep working,” Goudeau said.
