SHREVEPORT, La. — Growing up, Shreveport native Stephen Goudeau has always had an eye for fashion. Recently, he has gained a following in the New York fashion industry.
“It was an experience. I think Shreveport is a great place to be raised. Also, it basically inspires you to grow, go see the world. And I think it keeps the home honest,” said Goudeau.
Goudeau said fashion has always been a part of his life, even growing up in Shreveport. He says he initially got his inspiration to become a fashion designer from his family.
“My parents had a lot to do with it. They were really big on style. Basically, they would keep me, you know, first, of course. My parents always stayed tailored. My mom was a tailor, and my dad was very fashion forward and I just always had a need for it. It was always like my sixth sense. The original name of my brand was called Studio Sixth Sense and they converted it to Stephen Goudeau” said Goudeau.
After his brand was converted to Stephen Goudeau, he saw more success. The fashion designer has more designs and projects in the near future.
“I have a few things coming up. Right now I am working on a new show called Maison de Godot, The House of Godot. So it’s Maison de la French. Last year it became so huge. The expectations exceed. So, we decided to do part two. So this year we’re doing bigger and better as in Dallas, Texas, it’s going to be at the Tower Club on Friday for the best view in Dallas. And I’m just excited,” said Goudeau
Goudeau says he’s also getting ready to launch a new clothing collection.
“I am coming out with a new signature collection. So
