In the latest episode of Live The Glamour Chats, fashion expert and TV host Dawn Del Russo sat down with the internationally recognized designer to discuss artistry, sustainability, and how vintage luxury is being transformed into collectible fashion statements.
Born in the south of France, Philip Karto built his brand on the idea that iconic fashion pieces should never lose their relevance. Instead, they should evolve. Known for reconstructing authentic vintage bags from heritage luxury houses including Louis Vuitton, Hermès, and Goyard, Karto turns each piece into wearable art through hand-painted details, embroidery, and custom artistic elements created inside his Miami atelier.
During the interview, Karto shared how his love for American pop culture, rock ’n’ roll, and craftsmanship inspired his signature aesthetic. His designs have attracted global attention and celebrity fans, including Miley Cyrus, Bella Hadid, and Mike Tyson, helping redefine what modern luxury looks like in today’s fashion world.
Dawn Del Russo explored the growing movement toward sustainable luxury and why consumers are gravitating toward one-of-a-kind pieces with history and individuality. The conversation highlighted how fashion is shifting away from mass production and toward collectible designs that blend heritage craftsmanship with contemporary creativity.
With ateliers in Miami and Saint-Tropez, Philip Karto continues to push the boundaries of luxury design while staying rooted in artistry and authenticity. His work proves that fashion can honor the past while creating something entirely new for the future.
