Carmen Bucco, founder of Bucco Couture, grew up in foster care when he decided to move out on his own at age 17. Knowing he had to earn a living, Carmen made a humble beginning shining shoes. He had a thirst to learn more about the business, so simultaneously, he worked in his spare time to learn about pressing, dry cleaning, and measuring clothing. He saw a future in the apparel industry and decided to take that interest to the next level. In his late teens, he started tailoring clothing and educating himself on how a garment should look, feel, and fit. With the pursuit of a college degree not being an option, he opted to expand his learning through the years into fabrications and how materials are made.
