Paulie Gibson

Fashion – St. Louis

Paul \"Paulie\" Gibson has been in fashion his whole life. At the age of four, he became a shopping companion with his nanny, who designed custom clothing for the elegant VIP’s of St. Louis. By ten, he knew his passion. Fast forward to completing a B.S. in Fashion Design/Product Development from Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield Missouri, Paulie continued his studies in Paris in design, art, and the history of costume. Upon his return to the States, Paulie landed a unique internship with dynamic designer twins Dean & Dan Caten of Dsquared2 in New York. Having worked in all aspects of the fashion world, including 12 years in fashion retail, a few years modeling, fashion styling & wardrobe consulting, Paul the designer comes as no surprise. The contradiciton between masculine and feminine is fundamentally the inspiration for every Paulie creation, though you may also catch the juxtaposition between hard and soft, day and night, or even nice and naughty. At the end of the day, Paulie says \"be who you are, and love every minute of it!\"
