A consummate traveler, Carmen Marc Valvo gets design inspirations from his impressions of the places he visits.

Meticulous and known for his attention to details, Carmen Marc Valvo is both an artist and craftsman. He is a master tailor who could translate his design ideas into a reality.

He believes that the dress should be able to speak for itself, and beautiful in its own right without the help of accessories. He also like to add unexpected twists in the design, making the clothes interesting and as a result, making its own statement.

Recognizing his talent, the Fashion Group International honored the designer in its "Night of Stars: A Salute to American Icons" on November 2002 alongside extraordinary industry names, including, Kate Spade, David Yurman and Neiman Marcus.

Neiman Marcus also presented the designer with "The Million Dollar Dress" award for designing the very first couture gown to garner $1 million in sales in the history of Neiman Marcus.
