Carol Coelho was born and grew up in a small town in Brazil. Grand-daughter of a tailor and a seamstress, she grew up in midst of fabrics, trim stores and sewing machines. Ever since being a little girl, she knew she wanted to be a fashion designer. Carol loves her job.
She attended Indiana University studying Fashion and Costume Design and after graduating in 2005, she moved to New York City to work for the house of Bill Blass as an assistant designer. In late 2008, Carol went to Paris to work in fabric manipulation and soon upon returning to New York in 2009, she was hired by Isaac Mizrahi to work as Textile Director. Finding an opportunity to explore the market in Brazil, Carol decided to move to Sao Paulo in 2011 and began working as head designer for Brazilian designer Carlos Miele, a post she held for two years until launching her own label, Carol Coelho. She designs and creates stunning custom-made evening and bridal gowns.
